[Answered ]-Django raw_id_fields read_only permission

As you’ve said, this is really weird. Thats why I’ve opted to “extend” the django admin to my specific requirements sometimes.

The easiest way to meet this goal is by overriding the has_change_permission of the referenced ModelAdmin

As you have the request object as an argument of the method, you can evaluate:

  • if the request comes from a raw_id_field or not
  • if the user has permissions to see that models or not
  • any other constraint you have

A simple prototype for the method:

def has_change_permission(self, request, obj=None):
    if obj is None and '_popup' in request.GET:
        return True

    return super(MyAdmin, self).has_change_permission(request, obj)
