Thanks Massimo - I was considering using accessible_query.
However, I've now got a problem before I try that - auth.add_permission
doesn't seem to be working:
>>>> auth.add_permission(1, 'read', db.auth_user, 0)
1
but when I look in the auth_permission table there are no entries. I've
tried this with alternative syntax:
>>>> auth.add_permission(1, 'read', db.auth_user)
2
and tried other tables:
>>>> auth.add_permission(1, 'read', db.post)
3
but still no entries in auth_permission. Any ideas?
