admin.ModelAdmin.get_form()

ModelAdmin.get_form(request, obj=None, **kwargs) [source]

Returns a ModelForm class for use in the admin add and change views, see add_view() and change_view().

The base implementation uses modelform_factory() to subclass form, modified by attributes such as fields and exclude. So, for example, if you wanted to offer additional fields to superusers, you could swap in a different base form like so:

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def get_form(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):
        if request.user.is_superuser:
            kwargs['form'] = MySuperuserForm
        return super(MyModelAdmin, self).get_form(request, obj, **kwargs)

You may also simply return a custom ModelForm class directly.
