Description (last modified by andrei kulakov)

When a valid argument is given to staff_member_required decorator, it raises this confusing error:

staff_member_required() takes at least 1 argument (1 given)

  @staff_member_required(redirect_field_name='test')
  def v1(request):
      return HttpResponse("hi")

Summary: admin.views.decorators.staff_member_required raises an exception when passed a valid argumentadmin.views.decorators.staff_member_required can't be used with decorator syntax and extra arguments
Triage Stage: UnreviewedAccepted

The issue here is simply that staff_member_required is not written to be automatically either a decorator or decorator-factory: it always requires a view_func as its first positional argument. So it simply doesn't support the way you are trying to use it; if you want to provide extra options to it, you can no longer use it with @ syntax.

If we are documenting it and making it public API, it should probably work like login_required, which would make your code work.

#24253 is about making staff_member_required a public api.

I pushed a branch with a fix for that ticket here:

Apparently there was already a pull request for that, sorry for the confusion.
