So, after a discussion with a new user on #django today I decided to make "permissions not bound to models" a first-class feature.
So I've written a simple patch that is in https://github.com/django/django/compare/master...funkybob:feature/cjm/global_perms?expand=1
Basically: 1. Allow Permission.content_type to be null 2. Adjust everything else to cope with that 3. Add new setting "GLOBAL_PERMS" 4. Teach create_permissions to honor that. 5. Write minimal test and documentation. Would welcome further input. -- C -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
