Re: Using the backend database to secure a page on the frontend

If you want to use the existing permission system, I think you'll find
this is what you need:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/auth/#the-permission-required-decorator

You could add some extra permissions to your models too if you need
them: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/models/options/#permissions

Kind regards
Phil
