## Source and issue tracker

## Alternate projects

Django still only has the foundation for object permissions [1] and `django-guardian` makes use of new facilities and it is based on them. There are some other pluggable applications which do NOT require Django version 1.2+. For instance, django-authority or django-permissions are great options available.
