Can't delete API Key

[TurnrDev]

I reckon there should be a setting to override this. What's the point in assigning keys if I can't delete them when things change I can no longer trust the key is private? (Say if the key gets leaked)

You can override the Admin in any of your admin.py file. Below is how l implemented it

from rest_framework_api_key.models import APIKey
from rest_framework_api_key.helpers import generate_key
from rest_framework_api_key.admin import ApiKeyAdmin

class ApiKeyAdmin(ApiKeyAdmin):
    def has_delete_permission(self, request, obj=None):
        return True

And that is it. You can see the delete from the drop down at Django Backend.

Its worth adding that you should first unregister the original ApiKeyAdmin on the admin.py file you add this.

So the whole code will be something like this:

from rest_framework_api_key.admin import ApiKeyAdmin
from rest_framework_api_key.models import APIKey

class MyApiKeyAdmin(ApiKeyAdmin):
    def has_delete_permission(self, request, obj=None):
        return request.user.is_superuser

admin.site.unregister(APIKey)
admin.site.register(APIKey, MyApiKeyAdmin)

In my case I only gave this permission to superusers.
