Study the class ModelAdmin in the file django/contrib/admin/
options.py.
There are has_*_permission() methods there that you can override in
your own Admin class. There's an example of an overridden
has_change_permission method in the docs:

Your Admin class could override the ModelAdmin.save_add()
and .change_add() methods. In these methods, you will have access to
the request object from which you can do your request.user magic.
