outdated django book

My Django book (from the university library) said to add the label
"@login_required" to views that I wish to restrict user access on.
Django 1.4 does not allow this; obviously the book is dated! Is there
a more modern way to get the same effect?

Similarly, admin does not allow access to my classes, even when I have
created an Admin class; is this a new security feature?

Finally, when I tried to create a view that allowed web-based user
creation, the views.py file would not recognize the class "User"; is
there something I need to import?
