Auto assigning 2 types of user roles on sign up

[Stephanie Semerville]

I am new to Django and trying to create a website that has two user roles primary and member. What i would like to happen is for by default a primary user to sign up and be assigned the primary role. When that primary user logs into the website, I would like them to have the ability to invite new users to the website. When that new user receives the invitation email and is redirected to the same sign up form, I would like that user to be auto assigned the member role on form submit. I have heard about the save() method but not sure how to use it and what file it goes in. Would the process change if all users can potentially be both roles?

hi,

A user could have many roles, it's all depends on your design. My understanding is:

1. When user directly sign up, he will be assigned the primary role.

2. When user sign up by an invitation, he will be assigned the member role.

3. So can a user in member role invite other users?

The 'save()' method you mentioned is the 'save' method for django models? You can simply use model class to create an instance and save it to db later.

u = User(name='Lucy')

u.save()

Maybe you can check the docs here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/db/models/ .

Hey.

I am working project where I need it. Five different roles, but users can have Multiple roles. Here is link to my git repo https://github.com/noobExtendsBot/django-custom-user form out side it in not documented enough (actually haven't commit on github) but you have a look inside models it is explained well. Note: I am using 'accounts' app to manage my users as user will need mobile number to login. You may want to have a look at model.py in account app. Here is the link https://github.com/noobExtendsBot/django-custom-user/blob/master/src/accounts/models.py

Please let me know if you need any help.

When you say: "create an instance and save it to db later", is that dynamic?

Hi.

Personally I would do it as follows:

On invitation create invited user account at least with email and with member role. Make account disabled. You might also add invitation key which you can put in email and check as well.

When invited user starts sign up procedure you can just fill in the blanks and enable account.
