Comment (by DrMeers):
> Proxy models should also proxy the permissions of the model they are
shadowing
Are you sure about that Malcolm? Proxy models could be quite useful for
limiting permissions to a subset of objects.
For example, I could make a {{{Student}}} proxy for {{{User}}} with a
manager whose {{{get_query_set}}} returns only {{{Users}}} in the
"student" {{{Group}}}, and a {{{save}}} method which automatically assigns
{{{User}}}s to that group. What if I'd then like to restrict
{{{Teacher}}}s to only being able to add/change/delete {{{Student}}}s and
not {{{User}}}s in general?
