[Answered ]-Django-import-export to export subset of fields

Apparently, I needed to RTFM…I found the answer in the docs.

Assigning resource_class within the UserAdmin did the trick:

class UserAdmin(ExportMixin, UserAdmin):
    resource_class = UserResource
    pass

Huzzah.

You can use

exclude = ('abc','def', 'ijk')

Assume you want to export only ‘first_name’ & ‘last_name’. Then,

class UserResource(resources.ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email')
        exclude = ('email')
