Hello Anthony, I have some questions about the new feature you present here :
"Just create an Auth group that is to be allowed access to this page and > specify the "role" of that group in auth.settings.auth_manager_role" > I think the correct spelling is *auth.settings.manager_group_role*, am I right? "First, there is /appadmin/manage/auth, which is a special page > specifically for managing Auth users, roles, and permissions" > When I add auth.settings.manager_group_role = 'manager' on my db.py, and the I log in with a "manager user", when I go on /appadmin/manage/auth I can manage all tables in my database, not only users roles and permissions. Have I missed something?
