Question

I want to use Facebook Authorization for Django Admin. Only the app developer (me) should be able to login. Is it possible? easily? and How?

Actually, I am even thinking to provide some special graph actions inside it. So, I should be able to play with the admin easily!

Answer 1

You could use django social auth as an authentication means. Basically, it allows you to authenticate users as django User‘s. You are then in “Standard Djangoland”, where users that have the is_staff flag can access the admin, and those that don’t can’t.

You can therefore give the Facebook user that Social Auth created for you the appropriate privileges (that is is_staff = True) so that you can access the admin

There’s a bit of a chicken & egg problem here, but you could use the manage.py console to make your user an admin user / superuser.
