How to Create Super User account in any Django Website?

[Mamarth Briton]

Hi,

I found many Journalist creating super user account in many Django website. Does any one know how to create super user account in Django website. Such tonganoxiemirror.com is a Django site where I want to create a super user account or a Staff account without support of that site's admin. I didn't got any answer from that site's administrator to create a Staff Account.

Hi Mamarth,

Put it this way -- if you're already an admin user, the answer will be pretty obvious. If you're not an admin user, you can't -- and that's by design.

Creating a super user account in Django is just a matter of flicking the "superuser" flag on an existing user's account -- however, you'll need to have an existing super user account (or an admin user with permission to modify User objects) to be able to do this. 

If you've got access to the computer on which the site is installed, you can use the createsuperuer management command [1] to create a new user. 

[1] https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/django-admin/#createsuperuser

If you don't have an existing admin or superuser account, and you don't have access to the machine hosting the site, then you've got a problem. You'll need the assistance of the site administrator to go any further.

Yours.
