Change app name in django, now user can't see app in the admin backend?

I'm using the Coltrane Blog. I changed

Class Meta: app_label = 'Blog'

Now Entries in under Blog instead of Coltrane. Great this is what I want.

However now I have created a user with privileges to add, edit and delete entries for Coltrane app. I assigned the privileges under Users in the admin backend.

Now when my user signs in he can't see the Blog? If I take away app_label then the user sees the blog as Coltrane. If I assign Superuser status to a user they can see the app.

Is it not possible to changes an app_label and still have a user see the app?

If the user is just a staff user, and not a superuser, you need to make sure the user has privileges for that model.

I would try going to that user's record and looking at their list of privileges. You may need to add privileges specific to the newly named app.
