Django - How to use decorator in class-based view methods?

Question

I am developing a site with django 1.8. This is an example of one of the Views:

class ProfileView(View):
    template_name = 'index.html'

    # Return profile of any role (client/employee/admin)
    # Login required
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        try:
            profile = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user)
            agency = None

            if request.user.is_employee():
                employee = EmployeeProfile.objects.get(profile=profile)
                agency = employee.agency

            if request.user.is_manager():
                agency = Agency.objects.get(manager=request.user)

        except (Profile.DoesNotExist, EmployeeProfile.DoesNotExist, Agency.DoesNotExist) as e:
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/404')

        return render(request, self.template_name, {"profile": profile, "agency": agency})

    # Client sign up
    # No decorator is needed
    def post(self, request):
        sign_up = SignUpForm(request.POST, request.FILES)

        response = json.loads(utils.create_user(sign_up,request.POST['avatar']))
        if response['profile'] is None:
            return JsonResponse({"code": 400, "response": response['message']})
        profile = serializers.deserialize("json", response['profile']).next().object

        group = Group.objects.get(name='clients')
        profile.user.groups.add(group)

        return HttpResponseRedirect('/')

The question is, can I have different decorators according to the type of request that is made to a controller (view)?

Since Django 1.9, as per the docs, it is possible to apply decorator in the next way:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator

@method_decorator(login_required, name='dispatch')
class YourClassBasedView(TemplateView):
    ...

where name is the name of the method to be decorated.

or in case of few decorators:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.views.decorators.cache import never_cache
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator

decorators = [never_cache, login_required]

@method_decorator(decorators, name='dispatch')
class YourClassBasedView(TemplateView):
    ...
