I did it in this way:

admin.py

def add_view(self, request, form_url='', extra_context=None):  
        if not request.user.is_superuser:     
            self.exclude=('activa', )        
        return super(NoticiaAdmin, self).add_view(request, form_url='', extra_context=None)

You can't do the same for `change_view`? – Davor Lucic Aug 12 '10 at 08:16
all fine, i did it, just i would like to know if there is another way :) – Asinox Aug 12 '10 at 14:26
Changing self.exclude effects all following requests. – Aaron McMillin Apr 05 '14 at 07:23

Overriding the exclude property is a little dangerous unless you remember to set it back for other permissions, a better way might be to override the get_form method.

see: Django admin: exclude field on change form only

In the future, it looks like there will be a get_fields hook. But it's only in the master branch, not 1.5 or 1.6.

def get_fields(self, request, obj=None):
    """
    Hook for specifying fields.
    """
    return self.fields

If you have a lot of views, you can use this decorator :

def exclude(fields=(), permission=None):
    """
        Exclude fields in django admin with decorator
    """
    def _dec(func):
        def view(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
            if not request.user.has_perm(permission):
                self.exclude=fields
            return func(self, request, *args, **kwargs)
        return view
    return _dec

usage: @exclude(fields=('fonction', 'fonction_ar'))
