Permissions selection widget not shown. Nils Fredrik Gjerull nobody "The ""permission selection"" widget was not shown in the ""change user"" form in the admin interface. I have unicode characters in some of my models' verbose_name attribute and this triggered a bug in django/contrib/auth/models.py. According to what i read [http://www.pointy-stick.com/~malcolm/django-lazy-promises.txt here] you have to call unicode explicitly if you use unicode string with placeholders (e.g. u'%s' % unicode(foo)). This is not done in the Permission model." closed Uncategorized dev fixed unicode auth permission Unreviewed 1 0 0 0 0 0
