Extending Django User for Permission
authentication, django, extend, permissions
Solution
It is not necessary and also not recommended to extend `User` model. See Storing additional information about users.
That said, you can create Permissions without setting `permissions` model Meta attribute, see Programmatically creating permissions.
Problem
I just want List user to be under permission , so i just made one custom model like below ``` from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission,User class Mycustomuser(User): class Meta: permissions = ( ('users','users'), ('view_user', 'View user'), ) ``` In views i simply called ``` items=Mycustomuser.objects.all() ``` It is returning user id with 4 only. I did so because i made following permission using django guardian ``` task = MyCustomuser.objects.create() joe = User.objects.get(username__exact='admin') assign('view_category', joe, task) ``` Now i want to check that permission whenever MyCustomuser is called.
