Description
"Limiting access to generic views" could be interpreted as "Limit the user's access such that he can only access generic views". What is meant is "Apply authentication tests to generic views".
The earlier headings "Limiting access to logged-in users", and "Limiting access to logged-in users that pass a test" use a different sense of "limiting access to", and the subtle change of meaning could be confusing:
(Limiting access to) (logged-in users),
and
(Limiting access to) (generic views)
vs
(Limiting) (access to generic views)
Some suggested alternative headings:
- Limiting access when using generic views
- Limiting access for generic views
- Limiting access with generic views
- Applying authentication tests to generic views
