to get all the permissions of a given user, also the permissions associated with a group this user is part of:

from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission

def get_user_permissions(user):
    if user.is_superuser:
        return Permission.objects.all()
    return user.user_permissions.all() | Permission.objects.filter(group__user=user)
