Yes, I have to agree entirely..
I bungled the OP. Here is what the code snippet should have been:
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> u = User.objects.get(username='clint')
>>> u.get_all_permissions()
set([u'wb.delete_libraryitem', u'wb.change_libraryitem'])
>>> u.has_perm("wb.add_libraryitem")
True
How can that be?
Your reply did prod me into realizing that I had made a similar typo
while trying to resolve this question last night. Anyway, here is the
answer:
>>> u.is_superuser
True
If the user is not superuser, it returns False. u.has_perm() returns
true for ANY permission if u is superuser.
>>> u.has_perm("wb.anything")
True
This solves the problem. Thanks for the help Andy. :)
