As per [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/auth/default
/#redirecting-unauthorized-requests-in-class-based-views/ redirecting-
unauthorized-requests-in-class-based-views]:
**Changed in Django 2.1:**
In older versions, authenticated users who lacked permissions were
redirected to the login page (which resulted in a loop) instead of
receiving an HTTP 403 Forbidden response.
However, there is still a warning under
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/auth/default/#all-
authentication-views/ all-authentication-views] that states that "Enabling
redirect_authenticated_user can also result in a redirect loop when using
the permission_required() decorator unless the raise_exception parameter
is used." This warning no longer seems to be relevant given the change
described above, and should be deleted.
