Django admin page

I am relatively new to programming and would like to create a note sharing app with django. Is it possible to customize admin page for multiple type of users(super, regular, ordinary(read only) etc) and use it as a base for my application? and if yes, then how?

Basically by default in Django, there is 3 types of user: super user, staff user and normal user. If you use django's default user model, then if you go to the admin site(for example: /admin/auth/user/<user_id>/change/), then you should see this fields:

Based on the checkboxes you can identify the user types.

You can assign these users to specific models wise permissions as well:

There is more ways you can customize the adminsite and you can look into this for adminsite customization. You can give group permission as well and check here for group permission and authorization.

But still, I would not recommend to use this as base of your application. As purpose of the adminsite is to provide support for the admin, not all users. You can use adminsite to control permissions of the users to the actual dashboard.
