django model permission vs group permissions

My django model looks like this:

class testModel(models.Model):
    ...
    def has_add_permission(self, request):
        return False
    ...

My group permission looks like this:

employee: testApp | testModel | can add testModel

The user can still add objects:

enter image description here

It look like the the has_add_permission function is being ignored as the button only disappears when the permission is removed from the group;

group permission: can add testModel and has_add_permission returns true

group permission: can add testModel and has_add_permission returns false

group permission: cannot add testModel and has_add_permission returns true

group permission: cannot add testModel and has_add_permission returns false

Is this expected behaviour?

If you are referring to this part of the docs, you should know that there they are talking about the ModelAdmin methods, not the model directly.

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    ...

    def has_add_permission(self, request):
        return False

I don't think it is supposed to work by defining those methods directly on the models, you will have to define them in the admin class of that model.
