All,

Curious what people think about more thought and control going into who can 
run the createsuperuser method?

For example say there's models that I don't want anyone to touch except 
myself as a superuser. Is it not plausible that even if I make a Django 
Group around that model that someone could still run createsuperuser and 
give themselves the ability to have full control?

Wouldn't it make sense if some random developer were to run createsuperuser 
using django settings with any of the databases (as an example) that it 
prevent them if say that email isn't on say an internal list in the django 
admin of approved potential users?

I see something like this being a good idea to prevent just anyone from 
getting full control over the site without it being specifically provided.

Maybe there's something I'm missing something but been reading about third 
party options and more about what's there and I just feel there's a hole 
when it comes to who can create a super user account. Obviously you could 
have a script that you run to initialize who is a super user, what the 
groups are etc, but then you're basically recording personal information 
somewhere when that should only be typed in.

Open to ideas and thoughts, mostly just curious what could be a good answer.

Best,

JJ
