Multiple types of users More options

Hi there,

I'm evaluating Django for a project and the framework fits
in many
ways.
However on one issue it would be nice with some help to
hand-sew the
glove:


We need multiple types of users. Different profiles and
different
permission.


To be more specific: it is a event site where different kind
of
institutions can submit events and a couple of medias will
consume
the
calendar entries. We have:


* Institution type 1 - with a profile and certain
permissions
* Institution type 2 - with another profile and permissions
* Media - with a third profile and a different set of
permissions
* Admins


It would be nice if I could model these use types as
different user
models, but a hack could of cause be to have one large
profile and
hide
different fields according to the user type.


Ideas are welcome.

this has been repeatedly discussed. The auth.user model
gives the  
bare essentials. extending this is up to the individual
developer. O  
course, until model inheritance comes this is less than
ideal. But I  
think we can live with it until it does come.
