Description
Is your proposal related to a problem?
I want to make this live on production for a certain group of users.
I know that the pattern library can affect the site it's on because you can execute Python from templates so it's a security risk. Documentation could state that and this could be an opt-in only.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Create a custom Django permission to restrict who can see the pattern library as part of the package.
- Add Wagtail hooks for permission and maybe a Wagtail menu item for the pattern library as well. Probably a separate issue but would follow from this as we'd first want to restrict access.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Creating a permission decorator in my own project and guarding the URL paths.

Research direction
Start by tracing the package's URL paths and how Django permissions are defined and enforced. Review the proposed custom permission and the possible Wagtail hooks or menu item, then clarify whether Wagtail integration belongs in this issue. Done means access to the pattern library can be restricted to an intended user group and the security implications are documented.
