How to load data to auth_permissions from initial_data.json when the auth_groups is also loaded from fixture?

[ycseattle]

Hi, 

In my application, I have fixed groups (like admin, staff, subscribers) etc, and this data in auth_groups is not intended to change in the program, so I am loading them in initial_data.json. I also want to load data into auth_group_permissions as the application is not expected to change it. The problem is that I noticed the table auth_permissions is generated by Django, so the permissions IDs will be dynamic (especially when I add new models as it seems the permissions are ordered by the model names). Is there a way to load my definition of group permissions through initial_data.json, or am I stuck with running a piece of code to do this? 

Thanks,

Yi

I'm investigating this as well. I just read that using the natural
keys dumpdata option might help.
