With the new possibilities offered by read-only fields in the admin
interface it would be really convenient to use the admin interface
even for users having not full rights to alter a model.

An example is in the software I am writing: a person can add his own
drafts and propose them to be converted into articles, but once they
are promoted can't modifiy them any longer.
Anyway it would be nice to have the possibility of inspecting
published articles without having the need to switch between the admin
interface and the "public pages".

Or you can be in a group having read-only access to a Model.
I know this can be implemented adding a custom can_view permission and
overrinding admin.ModelAdmin.changelist_view which sets all the fields
as readonly... but it is more a hack than a solution (at least to my
eyes).
