GroupAdmin

This class provides a customized administrative interface for managing user groups and their associated permissions. It configures search and ordering capabilities based on group names and implements a horizontal filter for permission selection. Additionally, it optimizes performance by pre-fetching related content types when loading the many-to-many permission field.

Attributes

search_fields	tuple = ("name",)	List of fields used to build the search query in the admin interface, enabling keyword filtering by group name.
ordering	tuple = ("name",)	Specifies the default sort order for group records displayed in the admin change list view.
