ViewsDjango - Change Fields in Group Admin Model
The built-in django group model on the admin site only shows name:
but I want to include additional fields that are already part of the group model, such as id.
I have tried adding these fields using the following admin.py setup:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.models import Group
class GroupsAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ["name", "pk"]
class Meta:
model = Group
admin.site.register(Group, GroupsAdmin)
But this returns the error:
django.contrib.admin.sites.AlreadyRegistered: The model Group is already registered.
I have successfully registered other models (I've created) on admin but the above doesn't work for those models that are already a part of django.
How can I add fields in the admin model for Group?

The accepted answer is correct, however, I would like to point out that you could inherit from the GroupAdmin, if your goal is only extending that is and not modifying:
from django.contrib.auth.admin import GroupAdmin
class GroupsAdmin(GroupAdmin):
list_display = ["name", "pk"]
admin.site.unregister(Group)
admin.site.register(Group,GroupsAdmin)

You need to unregister it first from the built-in Group model and then register it again with your custom GroupAdmin model.
So:
class GroupsAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ["name", "pk"]
class Meta:
model = Group
admin.site.unregister(Group)
admin.site.register(Group, GroupsAdmin)
Also, the Meta class is not required. You can remove it.
