Exclude a field in django admin for users not super admin

Question

how i'll exclude a field in django admin if the users are not super admin?

thanks

Answer 1

I did it in this way:

admin.py

def add_view(self, request, form_url='', extra_context=None):  
        if not request.user.is_superuser:     
            self.exclude=('activa', )        
        return super(NoticiaAdmin, self).add_view(request, form_url='', extra_context=None)

Answer 2

Overriding the exclude property is a little dangerous unless you remember to set it back for other permissions, a better way might be to override the get_form method.

In the future, it looks like there will be a get_fields hook. But it's only in the master branch, not 1.5 or 1.6.

def get_fields(self, request, obj=None):
    """
    Hook for specifying fields.
    """
    return self.fields
