ls.ProgrammingError: permission denied for table django_migrations

This error typically occurs when the user executing the Django application does not have the necessary permissions to access or modify the django_migrations table in the database. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Check Database Credentials: Ensure that the database credentials used in your Django settings (settings.py) are correct and have the required permissions to perform operations on the database.

  2. Database Access Permissions: Log in to your database management system (such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite) using appropriate administrative credentials.

  3. Grant Permissions: Grant necessary permissions (like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) on the django_migrations table to the user specified in the Django settings.

  4. Database Migration: Run Django migrations again after ensuring the user has adequate permissions. Use the following command: bash python manage.py migrate

  5. Check for Errors: Look for any other errors or permission-denied messages during the migration process. Rectify them based on the specific error messages encountered.

  6. Testing: Test the Django application to ensure that the issue has been resolved and that migrations can now be applied without encountering permission errors.
