17430	Document access to the Django admin interface when using a custom backend	ncoghlan@…	Maria Hynes	"The current auth docs aren't particularly clear on *exactly* what is needed to support the Django admin with a custom backend. Specifically, I had to do a lot of digging and experimentation to work out adequate settings for a User to be able to:
1. Access the admin pages at all (i.e. is_active + is_staff)
2. Actually edit the model data (through trial and error, I know that is_active + is_staff + is_super works, but I don't know if there are any other ways to achieve the same thing).
