How to show permissions in django admin project?

Question

I have a django app. And I try in the admin panel of django restrict user permissions with the AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION tab.

But I noticed that something is missing in my existing django app on the AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION tab.

Because I installed a clean install from django. And the AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION tab looked like:

and the AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION tab in my existing django app looks like:

So as you can see in my existing django app the right part is missing of the user permissions.

What I have done? Is checking the versions. And they are the same(clean version and exsting version)

admin.site.register(Animal, AnimalAdmin)
admin.site.register(Category, CategoryAdmin)

I have also a accounts app. and the admin.py looks like:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin

from .models import Account

# Register your models here.


class AccountAdmin(UserAdmin):
    list_display = (
        "email",
        "first_name",
        "last_name",
        "username",
        "last_login",
        "date_joined",
        "is_active",
    )
    list_display_links = ("email", "first_name", "last_name")
    filter_horizontal = ('groups', 'user_permissions',)
    readonly_fields = ("last_login", "date_joined")
    ordering = ("-date_joined",)

    filter_horizontal = ()
    list_filter = ()
    fieldsets = ()


# Register your models here.
admin.site.register(Account, AccountAdmin)
# admin.site.register(Account, AccountAdmin)

Question: How to show the choosen user persmissions in the existing django app?

Answer 1

You unset the filter_horizontal with filter_horizontal = (), remove that line:

class AccountAdmin(UserAdmin):
    list_display = (
        'email',
        'first_name',
        'last_name',
        'username',
        'last_login',
        'date_joined',
        'is_active',
    )
    list_display_links = ('email', 'first_name', 'last_name')
    filter_horizontal = (
        'groups',
        'user_permissions',
    )
    readonly_fields = ('last_login', 'date_joined')
    ordering = ('-date_joined',)

    # filter_horizontal = ()  🖘 remove
    list_filter = ()
    fieldsets = ()
