Users

HIdP does not provide a concrete user model. Instead, it provides a base user model that you must inherit from in your own user model. This allows you to define a user model that fits your application’s needs while still being able to adhere to the requirements of HIdP.

Model

To create a user model, inherit from hidp.accounts.models.BaseUser, this model provides the fields and methods required by HIdP, Django and Django Admin.

Don’t forget to point AUTH_USER_MODEL in your setting to your custom user model.

QuerySet

By inheriting from BaseUser, your user model will also have access to a custom query set implementation that provides some convenience methods for querying users.

Manager

The manager (objects) of your user model will be an instance of UserManager, which exports the same methods as UserQuerySet and additional methods for creating users inherited from Django’s UserManager.
