Django admin customization with ModelAdmin

The Django admin is powerful when customized. I set list_display for column layout, list_filter and search_fields for finding records. Using readonly_fields, I prevent editing certain fields. The fieldsets organize the form layout. For computed values, I add methods decorated with @admin.display. Inline models show related objects on the same page. I override get_queryset() to optimize queries with select_related(). Custom admin actions batch-process selected objects. The admin is not just for developers—with good UX, it's a viable CMS for content teams.
