Changing password in Django Admin

django, django-1.5, django-admin, python

Solution

Put this in your UserChangeForm:

password = ReadOnlyPasswordHashField(label=("Password"),
        help_text=("Raw passwords are not stored, so there is no way to see "
                    "this user's password, but you can change the password "
                    "using <a href=\"../password/\">this form</a>."))

Problem

I recently created the admin.py based in the Django Project Document: `https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#django.contrib.auth.models.AbstractBaseUser` But I really missed the functionality that allow the administrator the possibility to change the users passwords. How is possible to add this functionality? I just copied and pasted the code the is in the link above. ``` from django import forms from django.contrib import admin from django.contrib.auth.models import Group from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin from django.contrib.auth.forms import ReadOnlyPasswordHashField from customauth.models import MyUser class UserCreationForm(forms.ModelForm): """A form for creating new users. Includes all the required fields, plus a repeated password.""" password1 = forms.CharField(label='Password', widget=forms.PasswordInput) password2 = forms.CharField(label='Password confirmation', widget=forms.PasswordInput) class Meta: model = MyUser fields = ('email', 'date_of_birth') def clean_password2(self): # Check that the two password entries match password1 = self.cleaned_data.get("password1") password2 = self.cleaned_data.get("password2") if password1 and password2 and password1 != password2: raise forms.ValidationError("Passwords don't match") return password2 def save(self, commit=True): # Save the provided password in hashed format user = super(UserCreationForm, self).save(commit=False) user.set_password(self.cleaned_data["password1"]) if commit: user.save() return user class UserChangeForm(forms.ModelForm): """A form for updating users. Includes all the fields on the user, but replaces the password field with admin's password hash display field. """ password = ReadOnlyPasswordHashField() class Meta: model = MyUser def clean_password(self): # Regardless of what the user provides, return the initial value. # This is done here, rather than on the field, because the # field does not have access to the initial value return self.initial["password"] class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin): # The forms to add and change user instances form = UserChangeForm add_form = UserCreationForm # The fields to be used in displaying the User model. # These override the definitions on the base UserAdmin # that reference specific fields on auth.User. list_display = ('email', 'date_of_birth', 'is_admin') list_filter = ('is_admin',) fieldsets = ( (None, {'fields': ('email', 'password')}), ('Personal info', {'fields': ('date_of_birth',)}), ('Permissions', {'fields': ('is_admin',)}), ('Important dates', {'fields': ('last_login',)}), ) add_fieldsets = ( (None, { 'classes': ('wide',), 'fields': ('email', 'date_of_birth', 'password1', 'password2')} ), ) search_fields = ('email',) ordering = ('email',) filter_horizontal = () # Now register the new UserAdmin... admin.site.register(MyUser, MyUserAdmin) # ... and, since we're not using Django's builtin permissions, # unregister the Group model from admin. admin.site.unregister(Group) ``` [UPDATE - Added Information] I changed the following information but I still seeing just the password (crypted) in a read-only field. How is possible to add a link to change the password? ``` fieldsets = ( ('Permissions', {'fields': ('is_active', 'is_admin','password')}), ) add_fieldsets = ( (None, { 'classes': ('wide',), 'fields': ('email', 'password')} ), ) ```
