How can I restrict access to a view to only super users in Django

Question

On a site I am developing in Django, I want to restrict access to views so only superusers can access them. I could use @login_required or the LoginRequiredMixin, however I already have a login system for the average person, so that would let any logged in user access the view.

I've tried something that I thought would work SuperUserRequired as a mixin, however this obviously didn't work.

This has to be able to work in a CBV, as that's what I am using for this view. Here is the relevant view I want to apply this restriction to.

class CreatePostView(LoginRequiredMixin,CreateView):
    redirect_field_name = 'posts/post_detail.html'
    form_class = PostForm
    model = Post
    def form_valid(self,form):
        form.instance.author = self.request.user
        return super().form_valid(form)

Thanks for any help you can give :)

I think you need this mixin described in docs. Basically it gives you opportunity to check whether user has right access rights or not. Below is modified code from docs also:

from django.contrib.auth.mixins import UserPassesTestMixin

class MyView(UserPassesTestMixin, View):
    def test_func(self):
        return self.request.user.is_superuser
