Hi, I am planning to rewrite the permission system in Django. Why? I am currently working a lot with ldap and use the auth_backend to auth users against the ldap-server. But working with permissions is somewhat painful, so I am planning to move the permission stuff to the auth_backend. I would implement it this way that user-obj.has_perm would remain as it is, but the has_perm method itself would call the auth_backends has_perm method like backend.has_perm(user-obj, 'can_vote'). This would mean that the whole source would remain backwards-compatible from what I can see...
Is there something I would have to take care of and are you interested in something like it. Thx, Florian P.S.: The only backwards incompatible change to include would be renaming AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS to AUTH_BACKENDS (as auth and auth are different ;) ) [but this is more cosmetic]. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
