Hi, Not sure what you mean by a "normal user". If you want them to access the admin, make them staff. You can still control their ability to create/update/delete data through permissions.
If you want them to be able to edit data but not necessarily access admin, maybe look into making a view that renders a modelform, and use the @login_required decorator. There might be more elegant solutions... I'm a noob too, TBH.
