Remove (or hide) default Permissions from Django

Question

I\'m developing a Django app that will have two administration backends. One for daily use by \"normal\" users and the default one for more advanced tasks and for the developers

Answer 1

If you want to prevent Django from creating permissions, you can block the signals from being sent.

If you put this into a management/init.py in any app, it will bind to the signal handler before the auth framework has a chance (taking advantage of the dispatch_uid debouncing).

from django.db.models import signals

def do_nothing(*args, **kwargs):
  pass

signals.post_syncdb.connect(do_nothing, dispatch_uid="django.contrib.auth.management.create_permissions")
signals.post_syncdb.connect(do_nothing, dispatch_uid="django.contrib.auth.management.create_superuser")
