admin.ModelAdmin.get_actions()

ModelAdmin.get_actions(request) [source]

Finally, you can conditionally enable or disable actions on a per-request (and hence per-user basis) by overriding ModelAdmin.get_actions().

This returns a dictionary of actions allowed. The keys are action names, and the values are (function, name, short_description) tuples.

Most of the time you’ll use this method to conditionally remove actions from the list gathered by the superclass. For example, if I only wanted users whose names begin with ‘J’ to be able to delete objects in bulk, I could do the following:

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    ...

    def get_actions(self, request):
        actions = super(MyModelAdmin, self).get_actions(request)
        if request.user.username[0].upper() != 'J':
            if 'delete_selected' in actions:
                del actions['delete_selected']
        return actions
