Two possibilities:

- Per object permissions: example Django Guardian (model level)

- View permissions: UserPassesTest (view level)

 

 

Maybe a third using limit_choices_to on ForeignKey fields, but don't see an easy way to implement it and the two above should be sufficient plus deal with authorization/authentication rather then data model.
