 Limiting access to generic views
 --------------------------------
 
-To limit access to a :doc:`generic view </ref/generic-views>`, write a thin
-wrapper around the view, and point your URLconf to your wrapper instead of the
-generic view itself. For example::
+Controlling access to a :doc:`class-based generic view </ref/class-based-views>`
+is done by decorating the :meth:`View.dispatch <django.views.generic.base.View.dispatch>`
+method on the class. For example::
+
+    from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
+    from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
+    from django.views.generic import TemplateView
+
+    class ProtectedView(TemplateView):
+        template_name = 'secret.html'
+
+        @method_decorator(login_required)
+        def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
+            return super(ProtectedView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)

+See :ref:`decorating-class-based-views` for the details.
