Edit Question
Title
Body
I'm wondering how I might accomplish a simple 'object ownership' system with django models, such that, by default, only the owner of an object may edit it. I am attempting to allow a 'Management' group to edit all objects on behalf of the object owners, and have at this point added a custom permission: class Meta: permissions = ( ("manage_object", "Can manage objects"), ) To establish 'ownership' I've toyed with the idea of adding a def to the model: def owner(self): return self.user But then, how might I go further? I could implement the permissions in a view and display relevant UI with a template, i.e.: if request.user is object.owner: # ... do stuff elseif request.user.has_perm.can_manage: # this line is probably not right # ... do something else ... and then present different UI elements on a template level. So, the question is: what faults/benefits are there with this approach? are there recommendations? or, any other previously implement methods? Best thanks!
