Django has superuser, staff, admin…
superuser and staff are in django.contib.auth.models.UserManager. Then there is the createsuperuser command of django-admin.
Well, there are admin apps… What's the difference?

- A user marked as staff can access the Django admin. But permissions to create, read, update and delete data in the Django admin must be given explicitly to a user. By default, a superuser is marked as staff.
Superuser Accounts in Windows, Linux, & Unix/Unix-like Systems. In Windows systems, the Administrator account holds superuser privileges. Each Windows computer has at least one administrator account. The Administrator account allows the user to install software, and change local configurations and settings, and more.
Django provides a default admin interface which can be used to perform create, read, update and delete operations on the model directly. It reads set of data that explain and gives information about data from the model, to provide an instant interface where the user can adjust contents of the application .
In order to view and create records we also need this user to have permissions to manage all our objects. You can create a "superuser" account that has full access to the site and all needed permissions using manage.py.
I take this from Django Documentation:
One of the most powerful parts of Django is the automatic admin interface. Best thing is that you can customise it easily.
If logged in as a superuser, you have access to create, edit, and delete any object (models).
You can create staff user using staff flag. The “staff” flag controls whether the user is allowed to log in to the admin interface (i.e., whether that user is considered a “staff member” in your organization). Since this same user system can be used to control access to public (i.e., non-admin) sites, this flag differentiates between public users and administrators.
“Normal” admin users – that is, active, non-superuser staff members – are granted admin access through assigned permissions. Each object editable through the admin interface has three permissions: a create permission, an edit permission and a delete permission for all the models you had created.
Django’s admin site uses a permissions system that you can use to give specific users access only to the portions of the interface that they need. When you create a user, that user has no permissions, and it’s up to you to give the user specific permission
