End User Documentation for Django Admin

Question

Does anyone know of any end-user documentation for the Django admin site? Just explaining in terms of end users about creating user accounts, how do model permissions work, something like that?

I know that someone is going to give me the documentation, but so far it is great for us, technicians who are not aimed at non-technicians.

Thanks!

Ludo.

Answer 1

I use sphinx to create documentation for the end user. In addition, I created a library with several functions to simplify the creation of documentation, for example, auto-documentation of models and the creation of a skeleton for documentation. django-simpleadmindoc is available on github:

Of course, you still have to write the documentation yourself.

Answer 2

If you are a website user using the built-in Django administration interface and not the person who developed the website, you can contact them. The Django admin is a great convenience for developers, but we, as developers, must ultimately provide non-technical end users with documentation on how to use the website we created for them.
