You can do this in the admin with ``ModelAdmin.save_model(...)``[1], but if you don't need access to the `request` object or direct access to the form being submitted you're better off doing something that will apply to all ``save()``s regardless of the view that displays them, like a ``pre_save`` or ``post_save`` signal.
