Russell, Michael, tonecmd, Thanks a lot for the replies.
What I've ended up doing is adding a limit_choices_to like this: candidate = meta.ForeignKey(Candidate, limit_choices_to = {'id__in': ['1', '2']} ) Then I intercept the admin url, get the current user, and in a method on the class that has the 'candidate' field, I get the list of ids of candidates he has access to, and then set: self._meta.fields[1].rel.limit_choices_to = {'id__in': result} This dynamically updates the limit_choices_to depending on the current user. It isn't exactly pretty, and I'm not sure if it causes an issue with threading (I don't know how mod_python works well enough), but it works ! I'm using the CVS trunk build. Thanks again, Graham.
