Re: Feature request: read-only admin view

There are lots of reasons why read-only/view permissions are appropriate for an admin system. I'd really like to see this done! I want to be able to give readonly admin accounts to my designers, developers, sales reps and sales prospects, because I want them to be able to try out the admin inte

Re: Feature request: read-only admin view

Hi, This feature has been discussed in the past on this mailing list (e.g., http://goo.gl/ezMpc and more recently: http://goo.gl/j1CPv). There has also been talks about merging the databrowse contrib app into the admin (see this ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8936 or the GSoC propos

Re: Feature request: read-only admin view

+1 from me too. One point is that if you are just browsing the admin, then viewing the objects in read-only mode is nicer than viewing them in edit forms. Especially for select/select multiple fields. Although this might need a bit bigger change into the UI (two links per list item: "view" and "edi

+1 django has grown since the original design decision and as a rapid development framework it sells itself it ought to have it --- me thinks. Daniel On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 9:28 PM, Russell Keith-Magee < russ...@keith-magee.com> wrote: > On Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 1:02 AM, Chris Wilson wrote: > >

Re: Feature request: read-only admin view

+1. This feature is simple and not implies backwards compatibilities or security problems. BTW, is very useful. On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 3:02 PM, Chris Wilson wrote: > mins only, -- juanpex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" gr

Feature request: read-only admin view
