Description
Many sites would like to use rowlevel permissions, but it's not that easy to do that with Django currently. The minimal requirement would be to add that support to the usermodel and the auth backends. This would enable us to write our own rowlevel implementations easily.
I added a patch, where the only relevant change is that the backends need to support obj as last parameter; I don't like the idea of making that optional as I prefer it consistent. Although if you prefer another option, just tell me, this patch (although working) is more or less a concept of what's needed to be done.

I made my own row level permission system based on this patch. It's still in a very early stage, but if needed I can share my findings.

Replying to contact@roelkramer.nl:

Hi, I am working on this patch for 1.2 and it would be nice if you could share your backend; maybe we find something else to include or improve…

Will this be what's needed for security only (ie, block people without permissions to see some object), or will it help people who are developing SAAS with an Account model who have been going SomeModel.objects.filter(account=request.account)? Or, will this only work with the built in Auth system?
