Hi,
(2nd attempt, as after a few hours the message still doesn't show up)
First, to sketch the situation.
To authenticate users, I use my own login backend. Nothing special, checks the
users in AD.
I have 1 project with all users in it, and other projects have their own
limited set of users.
These "local" users as I call them are not used to login people, only to
provide extra
information, for example, if the user is staff or superuser and so on.
I did this to provide a central login capability: if a user logs in in 1 of the
projects,
the user is also logged in, in the other projects.
Now I want a ManyToManyField from a model in one of the other projects to link
to
the users from the central database instead of the it's own user database.
As i said, the local user database is only used to specify wether a user is
staff or superuser and so on.
For checking users, you can do this, where central_users is the central database
user = User.objects.using('central_users').get(pk=user_id)
Is there something similar for models?
I have a model "Call" that can have several Users linked too.
...
initiator = models.ManyToManyField(User)
...
Is there a way to have this link to the users in the central_users database?
Regards,
Benedict
