Today i came up with a requirement where i need to implement field level permission so looking for the best possible way.

class ABC(models.Model):
    fiel         


        

Answer 1

Just in case someone else stumble about this, I had some issues with the given accepted answer. Every time the view got refreshed, it appended the fields over and over again. As well to the desired restricted view, where it shouldn't appear.

So, according to the docs, I made it working as follows:

Creating a custom ModelForm

class AbcStaffForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Abc
        exclude = ["manager", "foo", "bar",]

Overwrite get_form() in AbcModelAdmin & refered the custom ModelForm

class AbcAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    # some other code
    # ...
    def get_form(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):
        if not request.user.is_superuser:
            kwargs['form'] = AbcStaffForm  # ModelForm

        return super().get_form(request, obj, **kwargs)
