django access logged in user in custom manager
Hi, I want to access the currently logged in user in a custom manager I have wrote. I want to do this so that I can filter down results to only show objects they have access to.

Django: Completely custom auth question. Please help.
I'm creating a multiple-tenant application that won't use any of the standard Django Admin (except for internal use which will have access to all tenants... that's simple enough). I'm trying to create an authorization system of my own and I'm not interested in using the standard User model (or any built-in application's model). My applic...
Django: Using custom AUTH system, why is the User model always still needed?
I'm developing an SAAS and having the hardest time wrapping my brain around why I need to use "User" for anything other than myself. I don't know why but it makes me queezy to think that I, as the developer/admin of the entire software, with full Django Admin access (like the Eye of Sauron), have the same type of User object as an "Accou...

Extending User object in Django: User model inheritance or use UserProfile?
To extend the User object with custom fields, the Django docs recommend using UserProfiles. However, according to this answer to a question about this from a year or so back: extending django.contrib.auth.models.User also works better now -- ever since the refactoring of Django's inheritance code in the models API. And articles suc...
Cannot assign - must be a "UserProfile" instance
I have a class UserProfile defined which takes the default user as a foreign key. Now another class A has a foreign key to UserProfile.

Python/django inherit from 2 classes
In my django project I have 2 variations of users. One subclasses User class from django.auth and second uses almost the same fields but is not a real user (so it doesn't inherit from User). Is there a way to create a FieldUser class (that stores fields only) and for RealUser subclass both FieldUser and User, but for FakeUser subclass on...
Django: When extending User, better to use OneToOneField(User) or ForeignKey(User, unique=True)?
I'm finding conflicting information on whether to use OneToOneField(User) or ForeignKey(User, unique=True) when creating a UserProfile model by extending the Django User model. Is it better to use this?: class UserProfile(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True) or this?: class UserProfile(models.Model): us...

How do I inline edit a django user profile in the admin interface?
If you want to store extra information about a user (django.contrib.auth.models.User) in Django you can use the nifty AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE to plug in a "profile" model. Each user then gets a profile. It's all described here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#storing-additional-information-about-users http://www.djangoboo...
Modify Django user delete method?
If I go to the Django admin page and delete a user, I want it to run some code before/after it deletes the user. I know about overriding models' delete() methods, but I'm not sure how to apply it to a built-in model. Also, I'd like to be able to do it without 'subclassing' the User model and creating a (for instance) MyUser model. Is t...
