Question

I am using Django 1.3 and python 2.7 .I am using Django admin app.What I want is when a superuser logs-in it should be shown admin/index.html with all models which is default behaviour but if any other user logs-in that is not superuser then it should be shown a totally different template with my data (like ‘abc.html’).What should I do to accomplish this?I guess I need to override some admin view to do this but have no idea?

Please help.If you want more information plz comment 🙂

Answer 1

You create a modified AdminSite class definition with additional permission rules.

class SuperUserAdminSite( AdminSite ):
    def has_permission(self, request):
        return request.user.is_active and request.user.is_staff and request.user. is_superuser

Now you can create two AdminSite objects, one for ordinary users, one for super users.

You can have two paths in your URLs for the two admin sites.

Superusers can use both paths.

Ordinary users will only be able to use the ordinary user path in the URL.
