9,811 PointsDjango Authentication Add To Group challenge
Am stumped on this one... I've taken a shot at adding the user to the group along with the appropriate permissions, but keep getting Bummer! Superuser couldn't create a discounted product.... Any guidance appreciated... Thanks!
from django.contrib.auth.models import (
PermissionsMixin,
BaseUserManager,
AbstractBaseUser,
Permission,
Group
)
from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, dob, accepted_tos=None, password=None):
if not accepted_tos:
raise ValueError("Users must accept the terms of service")
user = self.model(
email=self.normalize_email(email),
dob=dob,
accepted_tos=True
)
user.set_password(password)
user.save()
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, dob, password):
user = self.create_user(
email,
dob,
accepted_tos=True,
password=password
)
user.is_staff = True
user.is_superuser = True
user.save()
return user
def create_editor(self, email, dob, password):
user = self.create_user(
email,
dob,
accepted_tos=True,
password=password
)
g = Group.objects.get_or_create(name='Editors')
permission = Permission.objects.get(codename='can_give_discount')
if permission:
user.user_permissions.add(permission)
else:
ct = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(models.Account)
permission = Permission.objects.create(codename='can_give_discount',
name='Can give discount',
content_type=ct)
g.permissions.add(permission)
user.user_permissions.add(permission)
g.user_set.add(user)
return user
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
email = models.EmailField(unique=True)
dob = models.DateField()
accepted_tos = models.BooleanField()
is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
joined_at = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
objects = UserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = "email"
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ["dob"]

Treehouse Guest TeacherDid you look up the docs for get_or_create()
? It does something you probably aren't expecting.
