Re: Multiple (limited) Admin feature for each registered user - Best Approach.

Quick Fix  - The Teacher model had a typo. Here is the fix

class Teacher(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    subject= models.ForeignKey('Subject')

    topic= models.ForeignKey('Topic')

    text = models.TextField()

What I am trying to do or (would like to do) is allow a bunch of users the ability to modify certain objects . Something exactly like the admin interface , however limiting the changes they can make to an object.

Hello experts first time poster here, so I am not sure how to approach this issue. I am trying to restrict admin privileges of users.

Let me explain a simple use case and then I could explain my objective. Consider the following example (model code below) there are 3 subjects(Subject Model) in the database suppose these are (Math , physics , chemistry)

Now each teacher (Teacher model) is assigned a Subject (subject Model). Now each Teacher should have an admin section they should not be able to change their name, they should not be able to change their subject but they can create new topics that they would like to discuss in their class(Topic Model). My question is what would be the best approach to handle this. 

Example:

class Subject(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    text   = models.CharField(max_length=200)

class Topic(models.Model)

    topic_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

class Teacher(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    subject= models.ForeignKey('Subject')

    topic= models.ForeignKey('Subject')

    text = models.TextField()

Now inorder to handle this should I create a separate admin for the teachers (like below )? If so how do I limit the models they should not be able to see other teachers in the system. Only themselves ?

from django.contrib.admin.sites import AdminSite

class TeacherAdminSite(AdminSite):

    pass

    #or overwrite some methods for different functionality

teachAdmin= TeacherAdminSite(name="teachadmin") 

Any suggestions on how I could solve this problem ? Or any other approach that I can take ?
