+If you do not want to use the default URL generated for your custom action, you can instead use the url_path parameter to customize it.
+
+For example, if you want to change the URL for our custom action to `^users/{pk}/change-password/$`, you could write:
+
+ from myapp.permissions import IsAdminOrIsSelf
+ from rest_framework.decorators import detail_route
+
+ class UserViewSet(ModelViewSet):
+ ...
+
+ @detail_route(methods=['post'], permission_classes=[IsAdminOrIsSelf], url_path='change-password')
+ def set_password(self, request, pk=None):
+ ...
+
+The above example would now generate the following URL pattern:
+
+* URL pattern: `^users/{pk}/change-password/$` Name: `'user-change-password'`
