Per user or profile results

[n3storm]

I need to index and search a lot of documents. Documents are used by different organizations than can only access a subset of the whole lot.

Access is determined by groups in a tree like structure. Tree is finite.

Is it crazy or dumb or impossible the following?:

Create a proxy model per tree node to filter documents accordingly to access permission and register to django-watson those proxy models.

Thanks in advance and any other approach that doesnt't include "filtering on view" will be welcomed.

Creating a proxy model per tree node sounds pretty crazy, IMO.

I would almost certainly advocate filtering the search result queryset on view to apply the permissions there.

There where less than 120 proxies (done programatically of course).

You are probably are right but I found this solution for Django Haystak: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28561054/django-haystack-create-multiple-indexes-for-the-same-model

How about to make 17 proxies? only for one level and second level fathers? and then filter from there on the view. That will filter out a lot and queries will be much smaller. Those 17 will not grow ever. Their children will grow with time (slowly).

I mean... maybe it would work...

But I don't see what's wrong with filtering on view. That just seems less hacky to me.

I realized there are roughly 18000 entries and would not duplicate within the next 5 years.

I will follow your advice @etianen, thank you very much :) and thank you for the KISS reminder ;)
