title: Django role based views?
body: <p>I'm looking for some input on how others would architect this. I'm going to provide class (django group) based views. </p>
  
  <p>For example, a user's group will determine what views/templates he or she will have access to. I'm thinking of perhaps storing paths to view functions in a table to determine what a user's link bar will consist of. Filter specifications can also be stored to determine what rows will fill these templates. </p>
  
  <p>A good example is a hospital nursing units. Nurses at one unit need not see the entire hospital's patients. They only need to see their patients. Doctors on the same unit need only to see those patients as well, but they should have access to much greater functionality.</p>
  
  <p>Has this been done via some third party application? And how would you approach this problem?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Pete</p>
