admin.AdminSite.disable_action()

AdminSite.disable_action(name) [source]

If you need to disable a site-wide action you can call AdminSite.disable_action().

For example, you can use this method to remove the built-in “delete selected objects” action:

admin.site.disable_action('delete_selected')

Once you’ve done the above, that action will no longer be available site-wide.

If, however, you need to re-enable a globally-disabled action for one particular model, simply list it explicitly in your ModelAdmin.actions list:

# Globally disable delete selected
admin.site.disable_action('delete_selected')

# This ModelAdmin will not have delete_selected available
class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    actions = ['some_other_action']
    ...

# This one will
class AnotherModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    actions = ['delete_selected', 'a_third_action']
    ...
