Your subclass problem sounds similar (though not exact) to this here: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/89123a476f7a26ac
more information on the one-to-one relationship can be found here: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/cb3c96aaffc42597/e10e4aec10e81c96?q=subclass&rnum=1#e10e4aec10e81c96 there is no answer for it yet (if there is, I'd love to hear it ...) for your permissions issue, you should look into Django's builtin support for Users, user authentication and permissions: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/authentication/#id5 The documentation is still thin and patchy in a lot of places, but it should be treated as more of a reference to the code. Hope this helps some, Alice
