django admin action checkbox not showing in chaneglist_view

My problem here is, In django admin list view the action checkboxes are not being displayed when I use changelist_view in admin. I have given the admin.py code below. Please go through it and provide me a solution.

def changelist_view(self, request, extra_context=None):
    if request.user == 'admin':
        self.list_display_links = ('project', )
        self.list_display = ('project', 'task_name', 'assignee_role', 'assignee_name', )
    else:
        self.list_display_links = ('task_name', )
        self.list_display = ( 'task_name', 'project', 'priority', )
    return super(ModelAdmin, self).changelist_view(request, extra_context = None)

Here what I want to achieve is to change the list_display and list_display_links fields based on user. I'm achieving it when I use changelist_view. But the action checkboxes are being hidden for all users when I do this.

So how to display action checkboxes when using changelist_view or how to achieve the above things without using changelist_view. Please provide a solution.

I found a solution after going through the django installation source file django/contrib/admin/options.py. To display action checkbox when using changelist_view include it in list_display. But I couldn't figure out why it is being hidden when using changelist_view.

def changelist_view(self, request, extra_context=None):
    if request.user == 'admin':
        self.list_display_links = ('project', )
        self.list_display = ('action_checkbox', 'project', 'task_name', 'assignee_role', 'assignee_name', )
    else:
        self.list_display_links = ('task_name', )
        self.list_display = ( 'task_name', 'project', 'priority', )
return super(ModelAdmin, self).changelist_view(request, extra_context = None)

So here the action checkbox will be displayed only if the current logged in user is admin since it is included in list_display.
