Add to INSTALLED APPS

Add the module to your installed apps.

INSTALLED_APS = (
    ...
    'djangoacl'
)

Template Loader

Add the new authentication backend to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS in settings.py

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
    'skin.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
    'skin.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
    'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
    'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
)

Run migrations

$ python manage.py migrate djangoacl

Add the action

Go to http://yoursite/admin/djangoacl/action/add/ and add the action.

Give the action a name. This can be pretty much anything you want but recommend no spaces or special characters. Also probably best not to use anything that matches then normal permission patters such as <action>_<model> or <model>.<action>

Make sure to add any related users or groups.

Request Permission

Request permission in the normal way using the permission_required decorator. See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/auth/default/#the-permission-required-decorator
