To create custom permissions for a given model object, use the ``permissions``

This example Task model creates three custom permissions, i.e., actions users
can or cannot do with Task instances, specific to your appication::

    class USCitizen(models.Model):

    class Task(models.Model):
        ...
        class Meta:
            permissions = (

                ("can_view", "Can see available tasks"),

                ("can_close", "Can remove a task by setting its status as closed"),
            )

The only thing this does is create those extra permissions when you run
:djadmin:`manage.py syncdb <syncdb>`.
:djadmin:`manage.py syncdb <syncdb>`. Your code is in charge of checking the
value of these permissions when an user is trying to access the functionality
provided by the application (viewing tasks, changing the status of tasks,
closing tasks.)
