By design, you cannot relax permissions. You can grant and re-deny though or re-implement how change permission is determined. Wether you can determine "I should grant Change permission, even though the group doesn't have it, because the request is for editing the filter *only*" is tricky. To grant change permission and then override it later, use the "user passes test" mechanism: <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/auth/default/#django.contrib.auth.decorators.user_passes_test> -- Melvyn Sopacua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
