Yeah, this is built in to django. You are on the right track with user.contrib.auth. If you are doing this all from the admin then it's as simple as creating a few groups, giving them the permisions you want and then assigning users to those groups.
If you are doing it on a front facing site, then there are many template tags and view for checking permissions. I hate to just point you at the documentation but it's pretty thorough in this topic and without specific examples it would be difficult to work through any examples. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/topics/auth/ On May 10, 6:18 am, signallock <signall...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, I'm a Python n00b but find Django very useful for me.
