Django's built-in, automatic admin interface (django.contrib.admin) which is part of the Django Web framework for the Python programming language.

One of the most powerful parts of Django is the automatic admin interface. It reads metadata from your models to provide a quick, model-centric interface where trusted users can manage content on your site. The admin’s recommended use is limited to an organization’s internal management tool. It’s not intended for building your entire front end around.
