Permissions managed at instance level?

[amberdiehl]

Hi there,

I am attempting to implement your forums project within my own application. I am running into issues with how permissions are defined in your app. E.g.

request.user.has_perm("forums.add_forumthread", obj=forum),

According to what I've read within Django documentation, the "obj=forum" is overriding the preceding "forums.add_forumthread". I have tested this in your code by setting "obj=None" temporarily (on the forum view) and sure enough, having setup a user with the right model permissions, I see a button to add a thread.

However, at the next point, thread_create, permissions are again checked with obj=forum and it fails again.

I cannot figure out how to grant a person permissions to the instance level nor do I see any reference in your application for this and cannot find any help googling.

Can you please provide me with some guidance?

Thanks in advance for your help.
