Let's suppose I have a Foo app with a Bar model with a owner field. I want a user to be able to edit all the instances for which obj.owner == request.user.
The model appears correctly in the admin panel for superusers and for users for which I have explicitly assigned the permission change_bar or add_bar, as explained here <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/default/#topic-authorization> : Assuming you have an application with an app_label foo and a model named Bar, to test for basic permissions you should use: add: user.has_perm('foo.add_bar') change: user.has_perm('foo.change_bar') delete: user.has_perm('foo.delete_bar') How can I show the model Bar in the admin index list without explicitly assigning foo.change_bar or foo.add_bar to the user? So far I tried the following, expecting the Bar model to appear in the index list page, but it didn't work. class BarAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): def get_queryset(self, request): qs = super(BarAdmin, self).get_queryset(request) if request.user.is_superuser: return qs return qs.filter(owner=request.user) def has_add_permission(self, request): return True def has_change_permission(self, request, obj=None): if obj is None: return True if obj.owner == request.user: return True return False def has_delete_permission(self, request, obj=None): if obj is None: return True if obj.owner == request.user: return True return False def has_module_permission(self, request): return True Accessing the link admin/foo/bar/ works correctly for every user and returns the list of Bar instances for which obj.owner == request.user. admin/foo/bar/add allows the user to add a new object correctly. These links are although not displayed in the admin index page: which is the function that triggers the appearance of the model in the index page? admin/foo/ returns 403 Forbidden.
