Dynamically adding ModelViews based on user roles in single admin

[ps96068]

Dear Author,

In the official documentation, it is mentioned that we can create a "single admin" or "multiple admins." I have a question related to "single admin" and dynamically configuring ModelView instances based on the role of the authenticated user.

Let's assume I have defined the Post model and the following ModelView classes:

AdminPostView(ModelView) – for users with the role admin.
StaffPostView(ModelView) – for users with the role staff.
I have implemented a custom AuthProvider, UserAuthProvider, where I have defined the methods login(), logout(), and is_authenticated(). Then, I initialized the Admin object as follows:

user = Admin(
    engine=engine, 
    base_url="/admin", 
    route_name="admin", 
    auth_provider=UserAuthProvider()
)

As per the documentation, I should add all ModelView instances using the add_view() method:

user.add_view(...)

My question is: How can I dynamically add a specific ModelView based on the role of the authenticated user? For example:

If the user has the role admin, I want to add:
user.add_view(AdminPostView(model=Post))

If the user has the role staff, I want to add:
user.add_view(StaffPostView(model=Post))

Is it possible to implement this logic directly within a "single admin"? If so, what would be the recommended approach to achieve this?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

The best way would be to add both views to the admin interface and block access depending on the user. You can block access
to views by overriding https://jowilf.github.io/starlette-admin/api/views/#starlette_admin.views.BaseView.is_accessible. You can find more detail in the documentation https://jowilf.github.io/starlette-admin/user-guide/authentication/
