Title Body

In my app I have the following models: class Zone(models.Model): name = models.SlugField() class ZonePermission(models.Model): zone = models.ForeignKey('Zone') user = models.ForeignKey(User) is_administrator = models.BooleanField() is_active = models.BooleanField() I am using Django REST framework to create a resource that returns zone details plus a nested resource showing the authenticated user's permissions for that zone. The output should be something like this: { "name": "test", "current_user_zone_permission": { "is_administrator": true, "is_active": true } } I've created serializers like so: class ZonePermissionSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = ZonePermission fields = ('is_administrator', 'is_active') class ZoneSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer): current_user_zone_permission = ZonePermissionSerializer(source='zonepermission_set') class Meta: model = Zone fields = ('name', 'current_user_zone_permission') The problem with this is that when I request a particular zone, the nested resource returns the ZonePermission records for all the users with permissions for that zone. Is there any way of applying a filter on request.user to the nested resource? BTW I don't want to use a HyperlinkedIdentityField for this (to minimise http requests). Solution This is the solution I implemented based on the answer below. I added the following code to my serializer class: current_user_zone_permission = serializers.SerializerMethodField('get_user_zone_permission') def get_user_zone_permission(self, obj): user = self.context['request'].user zone_permission = ZonePermission.objects.get(zone=obj, user=user) serializer = ZonePermissionSerialize
