+
+In case one of your settings itself need to be a callable, you need to
+tell that django-configurations by using the ``pristine`` decorator,
+e.g.::
+
+    from configurations import Settings, pristine
+
+    class Prod(Settings):
+
+        @pristine
+        def ACCESS_FUNCTION(user):
+            return user.is_staff
+
+Lambdas work, too::
+
+    from configurations import Settings, pristine
+
+    class Prod(Settings):
+        ACCESS_FUNCTION = pristine(lamda user: user.is_staff)
