Object level permissions django

Question

I have a model that looks like this..

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class SampleModel(models.Model):
    info1 = models.CharField(max_length = 20)
    info2 = models.CharField(max_length = 20)
    objectAdmin = models.ForeignKey(User)

django by default gives access to users to the entire tables if you allow them, but I want the user that is in that row to be the only one to have access to the entry..

so when a particular user logs in, and he goes to the /admin/myapp/samplemodel/1/ ,he should only be able to edit that object if he is the "objectAdmin" of that entry..

Answer 1

Filter the queryset in admin based on the user logged in.

class SampleModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def queryset(self, request):
        qs = super(SampleModelAdmin, self).queryset(request)
        if request.user.is_superuser:
            return qs
        return qs.filter(objectAdmin = request.user)

This will ensure that the user has access to objects for which he is assigned as admin.
