How to remove all permissions from a group in Django

Question

In Django authentication permissions, how to remove all permissions granted to a group?

Answer 1

There are separate ways to do this.

• via admin

  • edit your group and simply remove all permissions

• via database

  DELETE FROM auth_group_permissions WHERE group_id=<id>;
  

• via shell

  $ python manage.py shell
  

  >>> from django.contrib.auth.models import Group
  >>> group = Group.objects.get(id=<id>)
  >>> group.permissions.clear()
  

Edit: .clear() makes more sense than .all().delete(), thx Ivan ;)
