Django 1.9 - Create an app that use the models from another app and dynamic CBV

I'm creating a basic CMS. The CMS will contain information about different Entities.

A normal users can only see the information about the Entities but an editor will have access to an Dashboard were it can add new Entities or updated them.

I have an app Entity that use class-based view (CBV) for create,update,details,list-display (CRUD).

The urls for listing and details are: /entities and /entity-name

Because update and create are behind login and use different urls I create a second app Dashboard that use the create/update models of the Entity app

The urls are account/add and account/edit.

There is another solution to have different urls for views of the same model ?

I want the fist page of the dashboard to show different information based on the following logic(exist and/or is activated):

• if doesn't exist I want the CreateView (CBV) and corresponding form to appear
• if exist but it is not active a Pending message
• if exists and active the data of the entity

I can do the logic at the template level, but to separate things is better to be done at the CBV level. So in this case I need some help, how to implement it.

The Entity is in OneToOne Relationship with User.

I use EntityMixin to check if the user is login and get the corresponding entity.

Enter code here...

class EntityCreateView(EntityMixin, CreateView):

model = Entity
form_class = EntityModelForm

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):

    entity = self.get_entity()

    # declare context
    context = {}

    # if entity found/exist we get the active(Boolean)attribute value/status
    if entity:
        is_active = entity.active

        if is_active:
            context['title'] = 'Dashboard'
            context['entity'] = self.get_entity()


        else:
            context['title'] = 'Entity Pending'

    else:

            context['title'] = 'Add Entity'
            context['add_entity_form'] = EntityModelForm

    return render(request, 'accounts/dashboard.html', context)
