Description: IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly is a permission class in Django REST Framework that allows for granular access control to API views. Its main function is to restrict access to API resources, allowing unauthenticated users to only perform read operations, such as retrieving data, while authenticated users have the ability to perform write operations, such as creating, updating, or deleting resources. This permission class is particularly useful in applications where information is intended to be accessible to all, but certain actions that may modify the state of the data need to be protected and only executed by logged-in users. By implementing IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly, developers can ensure that the API is secure and that sensitive data is not altered by unauthorized users. This class integrates easily into API views, providing an efficient and effective solution for managing permissions in web and mobile applications.
