In the background, I'm running the development server. The URL for the admin is /admin, easy enough to remember.

Django has locked the admin away behind an authentication wall. So now I'll use the super user account I just created to sign in.

The password is super secret and hard to guess. And this is it, not much to look at, is it? That's because very little has been registered with it yet.

By default, all you get are the users and groups models which are part of the authentication framework.

By clicking on a model name, you can go to the change list screen. The change list screen, lists all the objects for the given model type.

In this case the users, as the only user in the system is the super user I just created, this list is pretty short.
0:55
The change list screen shows some of the attributes of each of the objects listed. For the user, that's the user name, the email address, first name,

last name and staff status. That pretty green check mark tells you the admin user is also a staff member. This screen is the read part of CRUD.

Clicking on the user name will take you to the update part of CRUD.]
