django-superuser 0.2.2

Installation

First you need enter the middleware in your setting file, it needs to be at some line after the django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware:

MIDDLEWARE = (
    ...
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'superuser.middleware.SuperUserMiddleware',
    ...
)

You also need to have your IP listed in INTERNAL_IPS, for example:

INTERNAL_IPS = ('127.0.0.1',)

Lastly you need to make sure DEBUG = True in your settings file for the middleware to work.

Notes

Note that the login page (usually /admin/login/) does not log you in automatically as a super user, this is so that you can login as a different user if you like. If you want to be logged in as a super user, just navigate to any other admin view, for example /admin/.

Django version < 1.10

If you are using Django version < 1.10 you need to use the old style middleware classes and you need install django-supervisor version < 0.2.0. Please set up middleware like this instead after the line: django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ...
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'superuser.middleware.SuperUserMiddleware',
    ...
)
