Re: Need advice on writing very specific custom user roles

It requires some work writing the permissions, but this is what
django-guardian [1] is good at. I would ditch Role as a user attribute
and use groups instead. If cities are limited in number, I would make
city groups as well and then it's just a matter of filtering groups
the right way taking article state into account.
