Frankly, I would just store the user as the owner in all of those tables. Probably using auth.signature().
You could do a very inefficient recursive select but I don't see any advantage. Something like: task = db.tasks[5] if task.job.project.owner != auth.user_id: # You are doing a select for each dot you see here: raise HTTP(403) # Forbidden -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
