Hi Django users,

It's been a while since I used Django, so I need an update on the
following question.

Has anyone found a generic solution to django-admin's huge flaw -
specifically, not being able to limit view/edit/delete activities
based on object-specific (not model-specific) characteristics and user
permissions?
(For example. limiting what *instances* a user can see/edit/delete to
only those he has created.)

Or do I still have to reinvent the whole admin application just to
incorporate the feature?
(Which, by the way, is a must for any collaborative online
publication.)

Thanks to all who have thought about the same problem.

Take a look at this: http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2008/dec/24/admin/
