Web Development Tutorial
Managing Django Users and Groups
Django’s authentication model consists of users, groups, and permissions. Users can belong to many groups, which is a way of categorizing users. It also streamlines the implementation of permissions by allowing permissions to be assigned to collections of users as well as individuals.
What will happen when the number of users grows? Will the admin user be able to manage 100 or 150 users at once? As you can imagine, this can be quite a complicated task. To overcome this, we can give elevated permissions to a certain set of users, and they can help ease the admin’s tasks. And that’s where groups come in handy.
Exercise 4.02 – adding and modifying users and groups through the admin app
In this exercise, we will grant a certain level of administrative access to one of our Bookr users, Carol. First, we will define the level of access for a group, and then we will add Carol to the group. This will allow Carol to update user profiles and check user logs. The following steps will help you implement this exercise:
Visit the admin interface at
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/and log in asbookradminusing the account set up with the superuser command.In the admin interface, follow the links to Home | AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION | Groups:
