I'll create a dynamic permission management system that allows you to add and remove permissions from user groups through a web interface. This will eliminate the need for hardcoding permissions.

Now, create and run the migrations to set up the database:

This implementation provides:

1. Dynamic Permission Models: GroupPermissionManager to define permissions and DepartmentPermissionAssignment to track which permissions are assigned to departments.

2. Web Interface: Complete CRUD interface for managing permissions through forms and templates.

3. Dynamic Permission Checking: Updated get_user_permissions() function that reads from the database instead of hardcoded values.

4. Management Command: To populate default permissions that match your current system.

5. User-Friendly Templates: Clean, responsive interfaces for managing department permissions with category grouping and bulk selection features.

Key features:

• Add/remove permissions through web interface
• Assign permissions to departments dynamically
• Changes apply immediately to all users in the department
• Permissions are categorized for better organization
• Bulk select/deselect functionality
• Integrates with existing Django permissions system

You can now manage permissions without touching code - just go to /accounts/permissions/ to access the permission management dashboard.

Looking at the error, there's a syntax issue in the accounts/views.py file around line 252. The error indicates that there's an incomplete try-except block - Python is expecting an except or finally block after a try statement.

Let me examine the file and fix the syntax error:

Looking at the error, the issue is that accounts/views.py is trying to import permission_required from accounts.decorators, but this function doesn't exist in the decorators file. I can see from the code that permission_required is actually defined in accounts/permissions.py.

Let me fix this import error:

Looking at the error, it appears that GroupPermissionManager is not being imported in the dashboard views. The error occurs when the dashboard tries to access this model but can't find it.

Let me check what's happening in the dashboard views and fix the import issue.

If the dashboard views file doesn't have the import section I referenced, let me also check if there are any template files or other views that might be referencing GroupPermissionManager without importing it. Let me add the import to the accounts context processor as well since that's commonly used across templates:

Looking at the error, it seems that GroupPermissionManager is not being imported in the accounts/permissions.py file. The error occurs at line 74 in the get_user_permissions function where it's trying to use GroupPermissionManager but it's not defined in that file.

Let me fix the missing import in the permissions file:

Looking at the error and the permission system, the issue is that the permission checking functions in expenditure/views.py are using hardcoded department name checks instead of the dynamic permission system that's been set up.

The functions can_access_expenses() and can_manage_expenses() in the expenditure views are checking for specific department names like 'Marketing', but they should be using the permission system instead.

Let me fix this by updating the permission checking functions to use the dynamic permission system:

Now I need to add the missing expense permissions to the permission system. Let me update the permissions setup:

Now I need to ensure these permissions are properly assigned to the Marketing department. Let me update the setup_permissions command:

Finally, let me update the context processor to ensure the permission checking functions are available in templates:

I need to import the functions in the context processor:

Now let's run the commands to populate the new permissions and update the department assignments:

The issue was that the expense permission checking functions were using hardcoded department name checks instead of the dynamic permission system. I've updated the code to:

1. Use dynamic permissions - The can_access_expenses() and can_manage_expenses() functions now check for specific permissions like 'view_expenses', 'create_expenses', etc.

2. Added missing permissions - Added 'manage_expenses' and 'approve_expenses' to the permission system.

3. Updated Marketing permissions - Ensured Marketing department gets the necessary expense permissions.

4. Updated context processor - Added expense permission functions to be available in templates.

After running the management commands, Marketing staff should now be able to access expense features based on their assigned permissions rather than hardcoded department checks.
