Just ran into this old thread because of a similar situation: created_by, created_on, etc.
Just got me thinking, if database has permission for CRUD, why admin site only has CUD? To say the site is for admin only may not be correct. After all, the admin site will manage normal user's permission, which surely could use view only permission. I'm new to django, but find django awesome. Admin site is powerful too.
