Django 1.5, python 2.6
The model automatically creates a user under certain conditions:
User.objects.get_or_create(username=new_user_name, is_staff=True) u = User.objects.get(username=new_user_name) u.set_password('temporary') In addition to setting the username, password, and is_staff status, I would like to set the user's permissions - something like:
u.user_permissions('Can view poll') or
u.set_permissions('Can change poll') Is this possible? Thank you!

If you have a set number of user types, you can create each user type as a group and give the necessary permissions to the group. Then, for every user that is added into the system and into the required group, the permissions are automatically granted to each user.
'django. contrib. auth' contains the core of the authentication framework, and its default models.
If is_active is True (default), returns only active users, or if False , returns only inactive users. Use None to return all users irrespective of active state.
Use add and remove methods:
from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission permission = Permission.objects.get(name='Can view poll') u.user_permissions.add(permission) Andrew M. Farrell's answer is correct. I only add the use of get_user_model() and a full example.
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission u = get_user_model().get(username=new_user_name) To get the permission you can use
permission = Permission.objects.get(name='Can view poll') or
permission = Permission.objects.get(codename='can_view_poll') then add it to the user permissions set
u.user_permissions.add(permission) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
