# Check Model Permissions within Templates in Django

Here is an example of determining whether a logged-in user has permissions for a model using Django's template language.

There is a default template variable called `perms`, which can be used to make this determination.

```html
{% if perms.myapp.view_mymodel %}
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a href="{% url 'admin:myapp_mymodel_changelist' %}" class="nav-link">Admin Page</a>
  </li>
{% endif %}
```
