I have a model class Project and for each model instance, there should be a 'group' of users who may edit that instance. I guess I could add another model class called ProjectEditor to add those editors. Is there a better way of implementing this? What about checking for permissions? I would need to write my own permission method then too, right?
Thanks Eric

There was an open source release for row/object level permissions by the washington times team that might be of use:
