I want a ticket!This talk discusses various strategies for ensuring that data in Django sites is correctly siloed and only visible to users who are intended to be able to access that data.
Pros and cons of various database strategies and Django/Postgres extensions are discussed, including tenancy denormalisation, database-level enforcement, how to leverage custom Model Managers (and their limitations), incremental adoption, multiple databases/schemas/app servers and non-technical considerations.
