How to use Flask-admin with flask-principal(security) to handle users by roles?

I already have custom adminindex with flask-login and I have some sqlalchemy modelviews. I just use is_accessible() to handle what to show: login form or modelviews.

class BaseAdminController(ModelView):
    column_exclude_list = ('created_on','modified_on')
    def is_accessible(self):
        return login.current_user.is_authenticated()

For example I have two user types - Moderator and User. How to show some views only for User and all other for Moderator?

To make some view accessible for moderator only, you can do something like

def is_accessible(self):
    if not login.current_user.is_authenticated():
        return False
    if not is_moderator(login.current_user):
        return False
    return True

and then in is_moderator you check that user is of "moderator" type. You did not mention how you store the user type in you data models, so I cannot help you with is_moderator function.
