I am working on Django and I create my Custom Admin Panel, But I want the same functionality of permission like as Django Default admin Panel. I create functionality for the Blog model in my Dashboard, if I log in as a super-admin and I give Normal User to blog view only permission then Normal user should not access add and edit access on my dashboard, Currently normal user also can access add and edit access on the admin panel which I developed.
I added the functionality for Admin and Normal User, if a user is admin then he can access my dashboard otherwise he/she will re redirect on the homepage.
But my problem is, how I can create permission-based functionality on my dashboard, I will give permission from Django default admin panel.
Please let me guide, Does I need to create the same URL's like Django default admin panel or there is another way to solve this issue. it's a very big problem for me please give me the correct solution.
please send if you have any documentation or solution for this.

I'm building an app for someone, one of its function is it allowers the owner to upload blogs to the website.
So i'm wondering if i should create a page for uploading blog or just give him staff permission so he can create and upload it through django's admin panel.
I want to know if this is safe or if it will be worth it to create a front-end template for just one person to use.
It all depends on a lot of things but I will say my opinion on some scenarios:
best practices: ya for sure you have to create a full template page with decorators that allow only staff account to access just like the admin, also don't ever depend on the admin panel even if you wanted a dashboard for an admin just create customized admin template, also some developer just remove the default admin panel on deploy, or may be make the end point of the admin panel instead of '/admin' they make something like that 'SAF#saf$%OIL>$/' to hide it for security
If it works leave it : if we are talking here on simple ecommerce app ya its fine just make a staff account for the owner so he could access the admin panel its fine
if you want to add permissions to the owner account use groups and add the account you created for the admin to this group then go to groups table and add what table should users of this group have access to it's totally fine
only make a customized admin panel when you need more functionality and visualization
First, sorry for my poor english.
I'm trying to make a Django system that supports different admins to get the same admin panel, but showing them different objects, that belong to the same CustomModel.
Example:
First step: --> Login
Seconds step: --> Redirect to admin panel (django.contrib.admin.site)
and.. nothing else.
The problem is that I don't know how to show in that panel the objects that corresponds to the logged admin.
Thanks! Gracias!
This is where Django Permissions enter the picture
Django comes with a simple permissions system. It provides a way to
assign permissions to specific users and groups of users.
It’s used by the Django admin site, but you’re welcome to use it in
your own code.
The Django admin site uses permissions as follows:
Access to view the “add” form and add an object is limited to users
with the “add” permission for that type of object. Access to view the
change list, view the “change” form and change an object is limited to
users with the “change” permission for that type of object. Access to
delete an object is limited to users with the “delete” permission for
that type of object.
If you give a staff user permissions to work with only a certain type of object, that's all that he will see in the admin area.
If you have lots of different admin, you can put them into groups and grant permissions for the groups.
I have been following along with the django tutorial and have Polls appearing in the administration panel of the site.
Additionally, I have, using django-registration package, created a way to allow a user to login and register a new account.
How do I grant this user permission to create objects in the Polls such that appear in the admin panel of the website?
Also, these users will not be staff so they will not be able to log in to the administration portion of the website. Is there a way to create Poll objects in a form?

This is literally what you do on page 4 of the django tutorial. Finish the tutorial, and you will answer your own question.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial04/#write-a-simple-form
In my Django app a user can register to the site and receive staff_user privileges from the admin.
After that the staff user can create and manage some other users (normal users) using default django admin site.
Now, I would like to let the staff user see and manage only the users he created from the admin site, I don't want him to see other users created by another staff user.
how can I do that? I imagine I need to modify admin.py right?
Don't modify the admin site.
In general, you have the following tools available:
Create groups
Add users to groups
Create custom permissions on your models, to indicate certain actions
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/auth/#custom-permissions
However, what you are asking: Now, I would like to let the staff user see and manage only the users he created from the admin site is not possible in django-admin.
The Django-admin site is only intended as a glorified development tool for fully trusted users, not as a customizable app for end users.
If your project requires an admin site with any of the following ...
Customized administraion functionality.
Exposure to any user that is not completely trusted.
... then I'm afraid you have to create your own custom app.
You can replace the stock UserAdmin with your own which overrides queryset() and does the filtering. The bigger issue is what to filter by. The default User model does not store a "created_by" in the model instance. So you would need to add this information whenever a User is added.
How best to do this depends on your Django version.
Django 1.5 introduced a "Configurable User model" which makes this very easy.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.5/#configurable-user-model
In earlier versions you would either have to monkeypatch the User model, or store that information in a separate "user profile" attached 1:1 to the User.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#extending-the-existing-user-model
Regarding the trusting of users (which wasn't a topic but I feel the need to comment on thnee's answer) in the Django admin, check out the links in my answer here: Should I use Django's Admin feature?
How can I give access for the admin views to normal users in django?
Go to the admin site and edit the user. Check the check box (under permissions) where it says:
"Staff status
Designates whether the user can log into this admin site."
You then need to grant them appropriate permissions for them to actually see things in the admin site. That is done just below this checkbox. If you want them to be able to do everything, check the "superuser" checkbox.
Is this what you mean?
Update
The OP actually wants to apply these permissions to a group of users. To do this, go to the admin site > Auth > Groups. Create a new group. Give it the permissions you want the group of users to have. You then need to go to each user and add them to this group. They will also need to be given "staff status" in order to log in to the admin site.
Is that what you are after?
