Summary<\/strong>: in this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a superuser and use it to sign in to the Django admin page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial begins where the Django models tut<\/a>orial<\/a> left off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction to the Django admin page #<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you create a new project using the startproject<\/code> command, Django automatically generates the admin page for managing models including creating, reading, updating, and deleting which is often known as CRUD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To access the admin page, you navigate to the URL http:\/\/127.0.0.1\/admin\/<\/code>. It’ll open the login page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"django<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note that Django specifies the admin\/<\/code> in the urls.py<\/code> of the project:<\/p>\n\n\n

from<\/span> django.contrib import<\/span> admin\n<\/span><\/span>from<\/span> django.urls import<\/span> path, include\n<\/span><\/span>\n<\/span><\/span>urlpatterns = [\n<\/span><\/span>    path('admin\/'<\/span>, admin.site.urls),\n<\/span><\/mark>    path(''<\/span>,include('blog.urls'<\/span>))\n<\/span><\/span>]\n<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
The Django admin requires an account to log in. Therefore, you need to create a user using a Django command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating a superuser account #<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To create a superuser account, you use the createsuperuser<\/code> command this:<\/p>\n\n\n
python manage.py createsuperuser<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> plaintext<\/span> (<\/span>plaintext<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
It’ll prompt for a username, email address, and password:<\/p>\n\n\n
Username: john          \nEmail address: john@pythontutorial.net\nPassword: \nPassword (again): \nSuperuser created successfully.<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> plaintext<\/span> (<\/span>plaintext<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
Run the Django development server:<\/p>\n\n\n
python manage.py runserver<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> plaintext<\/span> (<\/span>plaintext<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
And login using the created user, you’ll see the default admin page that manages users & groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"django<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
To show the Post<\/code> model on the admin page, you need to register it in the admin.py<\/code> of the blog<\/code> application:<\/p>\n\n\n
from<\/span> django.contrib import<\/span> admin\n<\/span><\/span>from<\/span> .models import<\/span> Post\n<\/span><\/span>\n<\/span><\/span>\n<\/span><\/span>admin.site.register(Post)\n<\/span><\/mark><\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
In this code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
