How is python manage.py createsuperuser useful?

Question

I am a new in Django. I have found this piece of code

python manage.py createsuperuser

How is this useful? In what kind of situation is it necessary?

Answer 1

From the django-docs (emphasis mine):

This command is only available if Django’s authentication system (django.contrib.auth) is installed.

Creates a superuser account (a user who has all permissions). This is useful if you need to create an initial superuser account or if you need to programmatically generate superuser accounts for your site(s).

When run interactively, this command will prompt for a password for the new superuser account. When run non-interactively, no password will be set, and the superuser account will not be able to log in until a password has been manually set for it.
