Installation

Use your favorite Python package manager to install the app from PyPI, e.g.

Add admin_permissions to INSTALLED_APPS:

Example:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'admin_permissions',
    ...
)

Example usage

Use class FieldPermissionMixin and set permissions using fields_permissions:

from django.contrib import admin
from admin_permissions.admin import FieldPermissionMixin


class ArticleAdmin(FieldPermissionMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = [
        ('General', {
            'fields': ['title', 'slug', 'text'],
        }),
        ('SEO', {
            'fields': ['seo_title', 'seo_description'],
        }),
    ]

    fields_permissions = {
        # 'permission': ('field',)
        'articles.can_change_admin_seo_fields': ('seo_title', 'seo_description'),
    }

# in articles/models.py:
class Article(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        permissions = (
            ('can_change_admin_seo_fields', _('Show SEO fields')),
        )

Then run makemigrations to add all the permissions in your database
