django: is there a way to 'import' functionality from admin site?

I am trying to build my own site but really envy some features provided by admin, like model change history, user group authentication, login and stuff. I am assuming there should be a easy way to port all that from admin since they are already there.

1. For example, does django keeps record of change history of a specific instance of a model like what we have in admin, so that I could just call it?

2. Does Django have built in user and group authentication system that, like, I just put tags on forms to specify what user group can edit it?

Sure you can get all the functionality that Django admin has.

  1. That's how actions history is displayed in template: link. This what action_list is, that is rendered in template: link. And finally, LogEntry model is fully described in django.contrib.admin.models.
  2. As the first point is described, you can find the information about authentication, as @user2976657 pointed you can find it in the docs, or run through source code
