Readonly Model Admin¶

In the admin module override has-*-permission methods for the model admin to return False.

class StatusPageAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
   # ...

   def has_add_permission(self, *args, **kwargs) -> bool:
       """Disable add new object from the UI."""
       return False

   def has_change_permission(self, *args, **kwargs) -> bool:
       """Disable object update from the UI."""
       return False

   def has_delete_permission(self, *args, **kwargs) -> bool:
       """Disable object delete from the UI."""
       return False
