readonly_fields from auth admin user/group panel

[Matt Harasymczuk]

since there is a field called readonly_fields
why there is no option to select from admin panel auth model user/group readonly permission, for example there is few users, who can only read data, without making any changes
there is a solution

I think CRUD perms are essential not only CUD

Adding the ability to have a read-only role in the admin is a topic that re-appears from time to time.

See the '"When and Why to Use the Admin Interface — And When Not to"' section.of ​http://djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter06/ for a verbose explanation about the target users of the admin app.

There are several discussions in mailing lists (see ​http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/4dec61582bbf5c44/44e4b82c116291c1?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=read+only+django+admin#44e4b82c116291c1 and ​https://mail.google.com/mail/#search/admin+read+only/1235e9a2a8f6e924 for a couple of examples) about this and similar tickets that were closed (e.g. #820, #7150) on this basis.

Closing a a duplicate of #820.
