DRF permission support on related objects

[charanjit-singh]

Currently, this package just acts as a serializer, and leaves no room to define permissions of related objects anywhere. Any suggestions, maintainers??

Hello @charanjit-singh! You can't set up permissions for related objects because as you said this package just acts as a serializer. Could you please describe your use case? Maybe it can be solved with validation or with different root serializers for different permissions?

Hi all, I've got the same issue. Serializer X has object permissions in its View, to prevent the object being overwritten if it is a shared resource between different instances. Serializer Y nests Serializer X as a field but it does not take in those permissions because as you mentioned it acts purely as a serializer. My use case is far more complicated than that as it involves multiple nested layers but that's the crux of the use case issue I'm facing.
