[SOLVED] code in save_model executed on second save, not first

code in save_model executed on second save, not first

i defined a save_model in my UserAdmin to change object level permissions for users.

class UserAdmin(BaseUserAdmin):

    def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):

        obj.save()
        allprojects = Project.objects.all()
        projects = obj.workingproject.all()
        remove_perm("view_project", obj, allprojects)
        assign_perm("view_project", obj, projects)
        obj.save()

remove_perm and assign_perm are shortcuts from django-guardian, workingproject is a M2M field of user.

The problem: when selecting different projects and saving the permissions are not changed, but pressing the save button a second time makes the changes as wanted. What am i doing wrong?

Solution

Try this by overriding save_related

def save_related(self, request, form, formsets, change):
    super(UserAdmin, self).save_related(request, form, formsets, change)
    obj = form.instance
    allprojects = Project.objects.all()
    projects = obj.workingproject.all()
    remove_perm("view_project", obj, allprojects)
    assign_perm("view_project", obj, projects)

In save_related, Django is removing M2M that are already there and setting new ones. So changes doing in save_model and save will not reflect.
