:synopsis: Django's admin site.
One of the most powerful parts of Django is the automatic admin interface. It
reads metadata in your model to provide a powerful and production-ready
interface that content producers can immediately use to start adding content to
the site. In this document, we discuss how to activate, use and customize
Django's admin interface.
reads metadata from your models to provide a quick, model-centric interface
where trusted users can manage content on your site. The admin's recommended
use is limited to an organization's internal management tool. It's not intended
for building your entire front end around.
The admin has many hooks for customization, but beware of trying to use those
hooks exclusively. If you need to provide a more process-centric interface
that abstracts away the implementation details of database tables and fields,
then it's probably time to write your own views.
In this document we discuss how to activate, use, and customize Django's admin
interface.
