Django: example / docs for group permissions?

Question

Can a kind soul tell me good documentation or code samples when setting up group permissions using Django? My requirements are pretty simple - I just need to enable / disable the functionality based on which groups the user belongs to.

Here is a basic example.

See: http://www.thinkjson.com/group-permissions-in-django/

First of all, let's say you have a model called Report.

class Report(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    contents = models.TextField(blank=True)
    authorized_groups = models.ManyToManyField('ReportGroup', null=True, blank=True, related_name='report_groups')    
    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

You can create an intermediate model for a user model for processing group permissions:

class ReportGroup(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    authorized_users = models.ManyToManyField(User, null=True, blank=True, related_name='report_users')
    def __str__(self):
        return self.name
