FieldLevelPermissionsAdmin

Have you ever needed to customize permissions, for example, allow only some fields for editing by some group of users, display some fields as read-only, and some to hide completely? FieldLevelPermissionsAdmin class does this for newforms-admin branch. Not tested well yet (>100 LOC!). You typically would like to use it this way: class MyObjectAdmin(FieldLevelPermissionsAdmin): def can_view_field(self, request, object, field_name): """ Boolean method, returning True if user allowed to view field with name field_name. user is stored in the request object, object is None only if object does not exist yet """ ...your code... def can_change_field(self, request, object, field_name): """ Boolean method, returning True if user allowed to change field with name field_name. user is stored in the request object, object is None only if object does not exist yet """ ...your code... def queryset(self, request): """ Method of ModelAdmin, override it if you want to change list of objects visible by the current user. """ mgr = self.model._default_manager if request.user.is_superuser: return mgr.all() filters = Q(creator=request.user)|Q(owner=request.user) return mgr.filter(filters)
