I was wondering if there's an easy way to configure the Django Admin UI (eg at http://mysite.com/admin) so that I don't need to authenticate/login?
I've tried tweaking urls.py but couldn't get it to bypass the login screen:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
I'd like to go to http://mysite.com/admin and see the list of django objects without having to login.
Thanks.
- Django admin framework uses '
is_staff' flag on the 'User' object to verify the permission to use admin site.
- So it needs an user to be authenticated to verify his admin related permissions.
- If you want to disable this, you have to override the 'index' method of the admin site.
- It is available at
django.contrib.admin.sites.
def index(self, request, extra_context=None):
"""
Displays the main admin index page, which lists all of the installed
apps that have been registered in this site.
"""
