Sometimes I don't want to reveal a staff-only view so I created this decorator, using django.contrib.admin.views.decorators.staff_member_required as my boilerplate. Non staff members are kicked to the 404 curb.

Suggestion: Create a file, decorators.py in your project (or single app) and import like so: from myproject.app_name.decorators import staff_or_404.

    from functools import wraps

    from django.utils.functional import wraps  # Python 2.4 fallback.

from django.http import Http404

def staff_or_404(view_func):
    """
    Decorator for views that checks that the user is logged in and is a staff
    member, raising a 404 if necessary.
    """
    def _checklogin(request, *args, **kwargs):
        if request.user.is_active and request.user.is_staff:
            # The user is valid. Continue to the admin page.
            return view_func(request, *args, **kwargs)

        else:   
            raise Http404

    return wraps(view_func)(_checklogin)
