Accessing the Django Admin Interface
URL and Login
The Django Admin is accessible at:
- Production:
https://<your-deployment-domain>/admin/ - Local development:
http://localhost:8000/admin/
Log in with a staff or superuser account. Navigate to the login page, enter your credentials, and click Log In.
note
On a fresh deployment, a superuser must be created via the command line before anyone can log in. See Creating the Initial Superuser below.
Admin Home Screen
After logging in, the admin home lists all registered model groups:
- Authentication and Authorization — User and Group management
- Datasets — DataModel, VectorDataset, VectorFile, RasterDataset, RasterFile, ReferenceDataset, ReferenceFile, Scenario, ScenarioFile
Creating the Initial Superuser (CLI)
cd /var/www/proenergia/app
source venv/bin/activate
python manage.py createsuperuser
note
Superuser accounts should be restricted to a small number of trusted administrators. Use staff-level Admin accounts for day-to-day management.
