Remove default apps from Django-admin

Question

By default, in Django-admin there is Users, Groups, and Sites apps. How can I remove Groups and Sites?

I tried to remove admin.autodiscover() from root urls. Then, when I added something like admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin) somewhere in my app models I got an AlreadyRegistered exception (this is fairly right - models users already registered in django.contrib.auth).

Answer 1

In an admin.py you know will definitely be loaded, try:

admin.site.unregister(User) admin.site.unregister(Group) admin.site.unregister(Site) 

Answer 2

In addition to the above double check your ordering of "INSTALLED_APPS" in "settings.py"

INSTALLED_APPS = [     # django apps first     'django.contrib.admin',     'django.contrib.auth',     'django.contrib.contenttypes',     'django.contrib.sessions',     'django.contrib.messages',     'django.contrib.staticfiles',      # custom apps below     'my_app' ] 

Otherwise it will cause an error. See here: Issue with Django admin registering an inline user profile admin
