Using proxy kind of Table in Admin Interface

[Rootz]

Question.

How would one go about designing the django table(s) so that I can assign each user account/group a different Model Manager using the same table in the Django admin interface? 

After doing some reading the closest that comes to this is the Proxy Model but I tried adding the proxy model manually into the django admin and I got it to work. However when I try to assign permission to each user account for the different proxy models I had created I am only  see only one proxy model in the permission list (django admin interface).

My goal is to create one table that returns a custom QuerySet unique to a user group or user account. Adding to this I would like for this to be visible in the admin interface. Can you guide me as to how can achieve this.

thank you

I am not quite sure what you are trying to achieve (without seeing sample code), but here is some very basic code showing how a proxy could work:

models.py

class MainModel(Model):

   """mother of models"""

    ...

    

class MainModelProxy(MainModel):

    objects = MainModelProxyManager()

    class Meta:

        proxy = True

admin.py

class MainModelAdmin(ModelAdmin):

    """mother of all admin"""

    ...

class MainModelProxyAdmin(MainModelAdmin):

    #add salt to taste

    

admin.site.register(MainModel, MainModelAdmin)

admin.site.register(MainModelProxy, MainModelProxyAdmin)

Ok below is a sample of the models.py

class LocationProfile(models.Model):
    shortName = models.CharField('Location Name',max_length=100,primary_key = True)
    longName = models.CharField('Church Name',max_length=100)
    .........

class Member(models.Model):
    first = models.CharField('First Name',max_length=150)
    last =  models.CharField('Last Name',max_length=150)
    .........

###Meadowvale SDA
###Model Manager
class MeadowvaleManager(models.Manager):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return super(MeadowvaleManager, self).get_queryset().filter(churchLoc='meadow-sda')


###Model Proxy
class MeadowvaleMember(Member):
    objects = MeadowvaleManager()
   
    class Meta:
        verbose_name = "MeadowMember"
        proxy = True
   


####Another SDA
###Model Manager
class AnotherManager(models.Manager):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return super(AnotherManager, self).get_queryset().filter(id=1)


###Model Proxy
class AnotherMember(Member):
    objects = AnotherManager()
   
    class Meta:
        verbose_name = "AnotherMember"
        proxy = True

below is a sample of the admin.py

from members.mymodels.models import MeadowvaleMember,AnotherMember
 
class MeadowvaleMemberAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def get_query_set(self,request):
        return MeadowvaleMember.objects.all()
   
   
class AnotherMemberAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def get_query_set(self,request):
        return AnotherMember.objects.all()

#proxy

admin.site.register(MeadowvaleMember,MeadowvaleMemberAdmin)
admin.site.register(AnotherMember,AnotherMemberAdmin)

Hi Rootz,

Unfortunately there's a long standing ticket to solve inconsistency with permissions for proxy models  so your chosen approach won't work until this is fixed.
