In the admin UI, there's a link in the upper right,
http://panda.tribapps.com/admin/logout/

Following it says you are logged out, but you are not logged out of PANDA proper. If you go to the root of the PANDA, you are still logged in and able to operate, although if you click on "admin" you are prompted to log in again, in the Django default admin UI, not the PANDA custom login UI.

At first I thought that the Django default admin UI didn't work at all for logging in. Actually, it works for admin users to login. One can re-login as an admin user and proceed to admin tasks, but if one uses user or staff credentials at /admin/ one gets an error as if invalid credentials were presented.

I'd call this somewhat low priority since only admin users will ever see it, but I could see it being annoying and/or confusing.
