Django admin site is not showing default permissions of models

Question

My Django admin site does not show any default permissions of any models. Actually, I checked the database and I can't find any model permission in the auth_permissions table.

I've already run python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate. I also tried deleting the database and migration files and run two above command again but doesn't work. I've already registered my models in admin.py.

Any other solutions I can try ?

admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from .Models import *


# Register your models here.

admin.site.register(LeaveRequest)
admin.site.register(Worker)
admin.site.register(TimeSheet)

settings.py

Answer 1

The above solution solves the problem. However, my Models is actually a folder, I've been trying to divide the models into different files which are stored in that folder. So for those who have the same idea, just simply change the folder's name into models and you're good to go :v

Answer 2

In your admin.py you are importing all of your models as from .Model import *. Python is a case-sensitive programming language if you have not manipulated your models.py file as Models.py.

I suppose from .models import * will do the trick
