Sorry for necro, but I stumbled upon this question looking for a similar issue.

I only wanted to allow retrieve() but not to list(). What I ended up doing:

from rest_framework import viewsets

from myapp.models import MyModel

class MyViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    http_method_names = ["get"]
    queryset = MyModel.objects.all()
    serializer_class = MySerializer

    def list(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        raise MethodNotAllowed("GET")
