+
+    settings_module
+        Specifies the settings module to use.
+        The settings module should be in Python package syntax, e.g. mysite.settings.
+        If this isn’t provided, django-admin will use the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
+        environment variable.
+
+    app_label
+        Specific app to run migrations for, instead of all apps.
+        This may involve running other apps’ migrations too, due to dependencies.
+
+    migration_name
+        Named migration to be applied to a specific app.
+        Brings the database schema to a state where the named migration is applied,
+        but no later migrations in the same app are applied. This may involve
+        unapplying migrations if you have previously migrated past the named migration.
+        Use the name zero to unapply all migrations for an app.
+
+    bin_env
+        Path to pip (or to a virtualenv). This can be used to specify the path
+        to the pip to use when more than one Python release is installed (e.g.
+        ``/usr/bin/pip-2.7`` or ``/usr/bin/pip-2.6``. If a directory path is
+        specified, it is assumed to be a virtualenv.
+
+    database
+        Database to migrate. Defaults to 'default'.
+
+    pythonpath
+        Adds the given filesystem path to the Python import search path.
+        If this isn’t provided, django-admin will use the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
+
+    env
+        A list of environment variables to be set prior to execution.
+
+        Example:
+
+        .. code-block:: yaml
+
+            module.run:
+              - name: django.migrate

+              - env:
+                - DATABASE_USER: 'mydbuser'
+
+    noinput
+        Suppresses all user prompts. Defaults to True.
+
+    runas
+        The user name to run the command as.
+
+    CLI Example:
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        salt '*' django.migrate <settings_module>
+        salt '*' django.migrate <settings_module> <app_label>
