url authentication with pinax

Question

In the pinax-project-account when a page is rendered we can, with the tag {% if not user.is_authenticated %}, control the context rendered.

My question is, how is it possible for someone to control which page appears? Say a user tries to hard code a url on the address bar and the user is not supposed to see that url. Any hint on where to start?

Thank you !

What you're looking for is django.contrib.auth, and specially the login_required, permission_required and user_passes_test decorators.
