from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin

class DashboardView(LoginRequiredMixin, TemplateView):
template_name = 'dashboard.html'
# templates/dashboard.html
<h2>Welcome to your dashboard</h2>
<p>Only authenticated users can view this page.</p>

LoginRequiredMixinis used to restrict access to class-based views. - If the user is not authenticated, they will be redirected to the login page.
