Advanced Actions

Making actions available site-wide

Some actions are best if they’re made available to any object in the admin site – the export action defined above would be a good candidate. You can make an action globally available using AdminSite.add_action(). For example:

from django.contrib import admin

admin.site.add_action(export_selected_objects)

This makes the export_selected_objects action globally available as an action named “export_selected_objects”. You can explicitly give the action a name – good if you later want to programmatically remove the action – by passing a second argument to AdminSite.add_action():

admin.site.add_action(export_selected_objects, 'export_selected')

Other advanced actions that can be done are: 

Disabling all actions for a particular ModelAdmin¶

Conditionally enabling or disabling actions¶

Setting permissions for actions¶
