Well, I had to get something up-and-running, so I have fallen back on the "don't try this in your app" method of threads. I implemented this based on this blog entry: http://chewpichai.blogspot.com/2007/09/using-user-info-outside-request-in.html to get the "threadlocals" created. and then in "modelmanagers.py", I have: from myapp.middleware import threadlocals def get_user(): return threadlocals.get_current_user() class MyModelManager(models.Manager): def get_query_set(self): user = get_user() if user == None or user.is_superuser: return super(MyModelManager, self).get_query_set() return super(MyModelManager, self).get_query_set().filter(created_by = user) I _know_ this is not the "technically correct" way to do this, and would be very happy if someone pointed out how to rewrite the get_user() function to something more acceptable.
