Ive created a user user object in my Django application, but has no control over user rights. I believe that this is due to the fact that the "Users" link does not appear in the "Out" section of the Django administrative site, where permissions are usually controlled.
Why it will not be displayed?
This is from my models.py file:
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser, BaseUserManager, PermissionsMixin
from django.db import models
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, username, password=None):
"""
Creates and saves a user with the given username.
"""
user = self.model()
user.username = username
user.set_password(password)
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
def create_superuser(self, username, password):
"""
Creates and saves a superuser with the given username.
"""
user = self.create_user(username, password=password)
user.is_admin = True
user.is_staff = True
user.is_superuser = True
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
class FooUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
username = models.CharField(max_length=40, unique=True, db_index=True)
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
my_time_field = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)
USERNAME_FIELD = 'username'
objects = UserManager()
class Meta:
app_label = 'foo'
def get_full_name(self):
return self.username
def get_short_name(self):
return self.username
def has_perm(self, perm, obj=None):
return self.is_admin
def has_module_perms(self, app_label):
return self.is_admin
In other applications, I extend the user model as necessary:
class CocoUser(FooUser):
mobile_number = models.CharField(max_length=64, blank=True, null=True)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=128, blank=True, null=True)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=128, blank=True, null=True)
email = models.CharField(max_length=128, blank=True, null=True)
This is from my settings.py file:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',

AUTH_USER_MODEL = ‘myapp.FooUser’
This is from my urls.py file:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
This is from my admin.py file:
from django import forms
from django.contrib import admin

from coco.models import CocoUser
class CocoUserCreationForm(forms.ModelForm):
"""A form for creating new users. Includes all the required fields, plus a repeated password."""
class Meta:
model = CocoUser
fields = ('mobile_number', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name',)
class CocoUserChangeForm(forms.ModelForm):

def clean_password(self):
return self.initial["password"]

admin.site.register(CocoUser, CocoUserAdmin)
