Django Admin exclude model from index and app page

Question

I want to hide some models from admin index page and app page. For example, these that I have visible in inlines as related objects.
One more point, I want to keep the ability to work with change_view and add_view, but not list_view of that model.

Tried to find any hints in admin/templates/admin/*.html files, but haven't found anything helpful.

Is it possible without "hacks", monkey-patching and external libraries?

Answer 1

As Django documentation tells:

ModelAdmin.has_module_permission(request)
Should return True if displaying the module on the admin index page and accessing the module’s index page is permitted, False otherwise. Uses User.has_module_perms() by default. Overriding it does not restrict access to the view, add, change, or delete views.

To avoid removal all permissions (like with get_model_perms()) you can redefine has_module_permission() method to always return False.

@admin.register(SomeModel)
class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    def has_module_permission(self, request):
        return False

Answer 2

You can try this

this will hide the model from the index

class YourModel(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def get_model_perms(self, request):    
        return {}  # return empty

admin.site.register(YourModel, YourModelAdmin)
