How to intercept password change in admin module ?

[Marc]

Hello,

I reformulate my previous question having not no answer.

I would like to get control on the password change form of the admin
site (let us say record some trace in another table).

I put the following code in the admin.py:

class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
...
admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, MyUserAdmin)

The problem is that when user calls the password change built-in form
the
save_model method is not called.

Is there a way to intercept the password change action ?

Thanks

Just a guess: is your application higher up in the INSTALLED_APPS list
than Django's build-in apps?

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes it is. Save_model is called when I
modify the User but not when I change the password using the dedicated
form.

How about just listening to pre_save or post_save signals on the User model?
