Override default queryset in Django admin

You can override get_queryset method in your model admin class.

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def get_queryset(self, request):
        qs = super(MyModelAdmin, self).get_queryset(request)
        if request.user.is_superuser:
            return qs
        return qs.filter(author=request.user)

Note in Django<=1.5 the method was named just queryset.
