django - set user permissions when user is automatically created using get_or_create
Use add and remove methods:
from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission permission = Permission.objects.get(name='Can view poll') u.user_permissions.add(permission)
Andrew M. Farrell's answer is correct. I only add the use of get_user_model() and a full example.
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_modelfrom django.contrib.auth.models import Permissionu = get_user_model().get(username=new_user_name)To get the permission you can use
permission = Permission.objects.get(name='Can view poll')or
permission = Permission.objects.get(codename='can_view_poll')then add it to the user permissions set
u.user_permissions.add(permission)
