Yes It's but depending on the deisgn of your project, may be It's better to build a custom view inside tha admin (as the djangobook chapter 18 speaks). Anyway I do It this way:
1 - store the user id taken from a middleware from the superguru lukeplant http://lukeplant.me.uk/blog.php?id=1107301634 2 - create a custom manager for the class you want the change-list page will be filtered that override the get_query_set(), this is less or more mine: class myCustomizedMan(models.Manager): def get_query_set(self): userid=threadlocals.get_current_user().id return super(myCustomizedMan,self).get_query_set().filter(your_user__id__exact=id) 3 - I don't know if this problem still occur in 0.95.1 but in 0.95 If you want to use a custom manager you have to say it inside the admin class: class Admin: ... bla bla bla filter, list_display whatever you want ... manager = myCustomizedMan() This was my little hack to have rows filtered by user. People can't display other users rows, inside the admin change-list page. Please note that at the state of the art, if you choose to customize the admin, maybe you will find more and more hacks to do. Every time you achieve to customize the admin, It whet your appetite to other new things you need, and this never end. Django 1.0 will solve this admin customization issue with the new Admin class. So my little suggestion is: 1) try your custom views instead 2) try to customize the admin via chapter 18 of the djangobook 3) try my little tric (based on the superduperguruLukeplant great hack) 4) wait for the new Admin Class (maybe 0.96 will come soon) Bye Picio 5) read this fantasti news letter every day 2007/2/22, Django <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hi, > > Is it possible to customise the django admin so that it only displays > certain objects depending on which user has logged in?
