Checking global permissions and row level perms

[aidanlister]

I saw this marked as fixed (#49) but I still need to do my perm checks like this:

if not self.account.has_perm('clients.view_client_dashboard') and not \
    self.account.has_perm('clients.view_client_dashboard', self.instance):

... is that supposed to work that way?

Sorry, could you please elaborate on the problem? Not sure I understand.

I think that you are claiming that #49 hasn't been fixed, and user.has_perm("perm", obj) is still not checking the global permissions?

Is the correct?

[brianmay]

Unfortunately there is no reference inside #49 to the change that supposedly fixed this.

Looks like another place where we get confused with global and per object permissions. We need to draft a standard of what should happen, and then stick to it.

Moving to #380.
