First solution

You didn't specify your django version, but i suppose you are in Django 1.x, as starting django 2.x there are four default permissions : add, change, delete, and the new one view, which is the one your are interested in. So a first solution (maybe not the easiest), is to upgrade to django 2.x, and use the view permission.

Second solution

Second solution, you can add the permissions you want to use for each model in the Meta, as described in the docs : permissions.

permissions = (("can_read", "Can read"),)

Side note

Note that you can also edit the default permissions by model, by using the default_permissions key. See default-permissions.

As documentation custom permissions indicates, you can define custom permissions on model's meta class.

class Task(models.Model):
...
class Meta:
    permissions = (
        ("change_task_status", "Can change the status of tasks"),
        ("close_task", "Can remove a task by setting its status as closed"),
    )
