This video is a pure gold. Please make more videos for multiple user types

[@the_street_coder4433]

great tutorial Sir, I have been seated here wondering why you are using type as a field when type is a python built in function, you will be breaking the naming convention and overwritting the built in `type` function.

[@xamifour6850]

Fantastic! you speak clear and moderate for beginners to understand. Kindly come out with video to explain multiple user types, that allow user to be buyer or seller, or both. Thanks, and regards to Uma.

[@melissatamplin]

Thanks so much - and great intro by Audrey :D This is great content, I will definitely come back to see what other surprises Django has for me. Your book is great too btw :)

[@djtoon8412]

It s a long ago but it is still worth in 2023.Please make a video on how to handle Multiple User types for a single user as you insited in last part of this video.

[@ezekielminja5713]

Thank you so much...can you also make a video for multiple users as you suggested, i d really appreciate it

[@remy8587]

"type" is reserved in python that is why it is highlighted differently than "name" for example. Many people advice against using that, do you think it's not important?

[@michaelhays]

It should be fine, see this answer: stackoverflow.com/a/10516154/3414529 And also the most upvoted comment on that answer: "Django creates a field named id and id() is a Python build-in function. Nobody confuses the two."

[@DanielFeldroy]

Because it's an attribute it's okay. If it were a function or variable name at the root scope it would be a problem.

[@mosalam208]

please upload a video about the multiple user types using this same method and if possible how to connect them in a permission , thanks alot

How to add spy and driver specific data fields? For example I want SPY to have a mission = charField and driver to have a rating = integerField , these fields should not be there in User table

[@alaatahakhoja6784]

Very useful and elaborative. THANK YOU.

[@Sharmazan]

Thanks a lot for the explanation. It's crystal clear now!!!

[@meuhmeuhmeuhify]

Hey. Thanks for your work and your videos ! I've bought almost all of your Django books and happy to see you streaming now. If I would have done this before, i would probably have used an Abstract user Model and inherits from it. Would a Proxy model be the best choice if all the children models have the same attributes ? Should I switch to an abstract parent model if my children have different attributes ? Thanks and keep the good work.

[@DanielFeldroy]

If all the types have the same data, use Proxy models. If there's a difference in data, use OneToOne model relations. I've got a follow up video coming out later this week that will explain how. :-)

[@konakziyaemre]

Loved your videos. Can you also do a video about how should be a product and variant models in Django. I’m struggling doing it because a variant should take a dynamic attributes and values. Which means user should be able to add a attribute by himself such as color or size and also user also should be able to add values to these attributes such as small, medium or black, blue. I really don’t know how to do it and I believe you definitely have an idea.

[@bazwa6a]

[@thomas-sinkala]

New to Django and building events with admin(the user who creates the events) and participants. Any idea how to structure the Model. Any user can be an admin if they created the event or a participant if they were invited to join.

[@DanielFeldroy]

class Event(models.Model): admins = models.ManyToMany(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name="admins") attendees = models.ManyToMany(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name="attendees") That's a straight-forward approach that with some debugging of my pseudocode should workl. I don't believe you have two user types, rather two different ways for people to participate in an event. Does that help?

[@thomas-sinkala]

@@DanielFeldroy Thank you very much Daniel. You're a lifesaver

[@DanielFeldroy]

@@thomas-sinkala I'm happy I could help!

[@nimda2sdfsdfsd]

Great Video, Clear talk, fantastic explanation. Also put a video on Django built in Groups, Another question is if we have groups, cant we achieve with groups whatever you have done with proxy models.

[@inselmanu]

This i want to ask, too

[@abhishektayal480]

We can but we won't be able to user different methods like 'whisper' and 'accelerate' for different users. Proxy models are used to define different characteristics from a single model without created a new table in db.

[@thegrowers420]

How bad would it be to just use bool and char fields to differentiate between users and their permissions? Thanks for sharing your knowledge by the way, I'm self taught and it hasn't been easy to figure out the best way to do things. Really need to read your book

[@DanielFeldroy]

That works, but more fields means more stuff to remember. I like keeping things simple and with just one field. Either a choice, ForeignKey, or ManyToMany field. That's arguably more normalized too.

[@thegrowers420]

@@DanielFeldroy thanks for the reply. I was worried I was just being stupid by doing that lol. I worry that my code is sloppy or just plain crappy and I won't know the verdict until someone tells me how my code is, I code with scalability, other programmers and future me in mind but I can't know if I'm doing it the right way lol. Thanks again for imparting your knowledge!

[@phiberjenz]

Hey Daniel, Thank you for this enlightening video! Would it be straight-forward to apply the same concept of proxy models but using an ArrayField in order for a user to have multiple types? Any pitfalls to know about? Would love to see a video about that as well.

[@namwanzaronald9436]

Learnt something very interesting to use in my project, thanks for the wonderful presentation. However, I have one question to ask here, let's say under Spy in the User model we have got other roles eg writer, viewer, commentor etc [list of other roles] - can this be achieved just like we created a whisper method ? , how would the spy class that inherits from the User class look like? Thanks.

[@IqbalArain-io3du]

I am working this exact same situation, where I need Teacher, Admins, Students and Parents. 4 models

[@johnrperry5897]

I'm halfway through the video so I'm sorry if you mention this in the second half, but what's the difference between setting the `abstract` parameter to True (in class Meta) vs setting the `proxy` parameter to True?

[@FabioCaritasBarrionuevodaLuz]

Good work. Thanks

[@slawikus1982]

I wonder how one can use this approach to actually log in users of different type and get them info self.request.user - because by default it'll log in using the base class User, so it will not be possible to call "more" method of the child classes

[@skumpuntele8941]

What if different user types have some different attributes? What would be the best approach in that scenario?

[@DanielFeldroy]

I'll be recording that exact scenario in my live stream at twitch.tv/danielfeldroy. I'll take the recording of that and post it here on my channel later this week. :-)

[@django3861]

@@DanielFeldroy Thank you so much

[@TheRedEnt]

Hi Daniel Feldroy you are just awesome your tutorials are amazing. Daniel can you make a video like amazon has two type of users one Customer and another Seller how we can differentiate them both have the same User Model for authentication but signup process and permissions will be different same like amazon. Please make it if you have time.

[@Julio-cz9cg]

Does this approach work to create users such as a SPY (and their custom fields) with a single POST request? Instead of first a request for User and then a request for Spy? I'm using DRF.

[@akashdamle3731]

Danny, I'm confused about this. I see a subclass to AbstractUser but doesn't it imply that there are authentication fields built-in i.e username, password with their defaults set, (also the clumsy first_name, last_name) right? the way these models are created I don't see you providing either username/password and create user records, or maybe it is only a requirement for using Django admin? and what about making instances at runtime.. do I need entirely different forms or model forms that can adapt. I'm curious will try this and comment back

[@bitchain]

Stumbled across an issue with saving a user in Admin because normalize_email was not a method which is expected on an AbstractUser subclass - solved by e.g. SpyManager extending from django.contrib.auth.models import UserManager

[@pranavichandra6439]

It's a great video hoping to see more in the future :) I am new to Django and still trying to wrap my head around it. here are a few queries I got type change in database could swap their roles completely, is it a good thing to keep different users in same table? In my case I have Customers, B2B Users, Admin user types. Is it possible to achieve different authentication mechanisms with the proxy approach eg: login with email for SPY, login with registered id for Driver? SPY, Driver can both login as Admin since both are auth.User, How can we stop it?

[@zakchips]

Can I use this approach if spy can be one time a spy, and another time a driver. and visa versa another time. the same for a driver. Thanks in advance.

[@DanielFeldroy]

You mean have a ManyToMany relationship? Absolutely!
