    <p>After struggling mightily with this issue, I've come asking for a bit of help. I'm writing a test for a Django Rest Framework view, testing whether or not I can access the data whilst authenticated, and not. However, even when I'm authenticated, I still get <code>401 UNAUTHORIZED</code> every time. Here's my tests:</p> <pre><code>from django.test import TestCase from django.contrib.auth.models import User from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token from rest_framework.test import APIRequestFactory, APIClient from apps.core import models, admin from apps.rest import views class TestAPIViews(TestCase): def setUp(self): self.factory = APIRequestFactory() self.client = APIClient() self.user = User.objects.create_user('testuser', email='testuser@test.com', password='testing') self.user.save() token = Token.objects.create(user=self.user) token.save() def _require_login(self): self.client.login(username='testuser', password='testing') def test_ListAccounts_not_authenticated(self): request = self.factory.get('/accounts/') view = views.ListAccounts.as_view() response = view(request) self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 401, 'Expected Response Code 401, received {0} instead.'.format(response.status_code)) def test_ListAccounts_authenticated(self): self.client._require_login() print(self.user.is_authenticated()) # returns True request = self.factory.get('/accounts/') view = views.ListAccounts.as_view() response = view(request) self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200, 'Expected Response Code 200, received {0} instead.'.format(response.status_code)) </code></pre> <p>And here is the code for my DRF View:</p> <pre><code>from django.shortcuts import render from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login, logout from django.db.models import Q from apps.core import serializers, models from apps.rest.permissions import IsAccountOwner from rest_framework.views import APIView from rest_framework import status, authentication, generics from rest_framework.response import Response from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token from rest_framework.authentication import SessionAuthentication, TokenAuthentication from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated from rest_framework.response import Response from apps.core import serializers, models ''' Auth Mixin for Account Admin Access ''' class AuthMixin: authentication_classes = (authentication.TokenAuthentication, authentication.SessionAuthentication) permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,) class GenericList(AuthMixin, generics.ListAPIView): def get_queryset(self): # Stubbed out - doing nothing special right now qs = self.model.objects.filter() return qs class ListAccounts(GenericList): model = models.Account serializer_class = serializers.AccountSerializer </code></pre> <p>As one can see, I'm calling login in the <code>test_ListAccounts_authenticated</code>, and then printing out whether or not I'm authenticated (Which returns <code>True</code>), but I get a <code>401 UNAUTHORIZED</code> Error no matter what. Anything I'm missing? Thanks in advance.</p>

    1. CONot sure if it's a typo but your AuthMixin doesn't subclass anything, should probably by `AuthMixin(object)`. Other than that it looks ok. I've got the SessionAuthentication as the first item, not sure if that matters or not.

    2. COThe AuthMixin is just a class that I created. It doesn't and shouldn't subclass anything.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
