If you already did an override on `Payment.delete()`, then you should be fine. Although be mindful of bulk delete, as it doesn't use `Model.delete()`: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11022> Also you might want to think about setting up a group in auth to have finer grained permission control. It's pretty simple to just leave out delete for this specific model. Is there a reason they need to be superusers? -- George --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
