Does somebody know a different way of giving permissions on django? the way that django admin does is horrible, so i want to change it.

To make it more manageable, I would define group permissions (which was the more complicated task.) It then becomes easier to add someone to or remove from a defined group.
One improvement you could try is to create a simplified view focusing only on turning on and off group permissions and hides all the other adjustments.

3,104 PointsThe "more in-depth permissions and groups capabilities", the way it works (giving permissions to users and groups) it's hard for people to use (the interface), have you ever implement another way of giving permissions there?

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsAre you referring to the Active, Staff, Superuser designations or the more in-depth permissions and groups capabilities to specify specific permissions?
