Thank you pointing me to these docs. In the link: > If that doesn't tickle your fancy, check out the following: > http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#permissions I found the following statement: For example, it's possible to say "Mary may change news stories," but it's not currently possible to say "Mary may change news stories, but only the ones she created herself" or "Mary may only change news stories that have a certain status, publication date or ID." The latter functionality is something Django developers are currently discussing. That was the nugget I was looking for. I think that my use case falls into the latter, which is currently not available. Good news is, as long as i only support 1 "working area" i should be ok.
