Hey Qiangning, The command "django-admin install polls" inserts the poll-specific permissions into the permissions table, for every object that has the "admin" parameter set. When you ran "django-admin install polls", you probably didn't have "admin" set yet -- because the tutorial doesn't introduce the admin part until later. What you need to do is this: django-admin.py sqlinitialdata polls ...and manually execute the "INSERT INTO auth_permissions..." lines in your database. Now that you bring this up, it's rather inconvenient to have to do this. Any ideas on how this could be improved? Adrian -- Adrian Holovaty holovaty.com | djangoproject.com | chicagocrime.org
