Description

Is there a way to implement Object Level Permissions? Something similar to what we have on Django Rest Framework. This would enable us to determine if a user has access to a particular object or model instance

This would be a great help in a multi-tenancy system where some users would have the same permissions but would only be able to access certain model objects

This is already completely possible.

Aside: Django rest framework doesn't have object-level permissions out of the box, it usually uses django's permissions framework, to which you can add django-guardian in order to add object-level permissions.

It's the same with strawberry, it integrates with django-guardian to achieve this, and if you search for guardian in the django strawberry docs you'll find it there.

Thanks for the clarification. I've not used django-guardian in the past.
I'll take a look at it

Aside: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/permissions/#object-level-permissions. Django Rest Framework does have Object Level Permissions out of the box although it comes with it's own limitations
