I've tried various methods to achieve this.

I decided against overriding formfield_for_dbfield as it doesn't get a copy of the request object and I was hoping to avoid the thread_locals hack.

I settled on overriding get_form in my ModelAdmin class and tried the following:

class PageOptions(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def get_form(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):
        if request.user.is_superuser:
            self.fieldsets = ((None, {'fields': ('title','name',),}),)
        else:
            self.fieldsets = ((None, {'fields': ('title',),}),)
        return super(PageOptions,self).get_form(request, obj=None, **kwargs)

When I print fieldsets or declared_fieldsets from within get_form I get None (or whatever I set as an initial value in PageOptions).

Why doesn't this work and is there a better way to do this?
