[Django]-Django – set user permissions when user is automatically created using get_or_create

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_model
from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission
u = get_user_model().objects.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)

Using codename filed:-

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.contrib.auth.models import Permissio

user = get_user_model().objects.get(name="test")
permission = Permission.objects.get(codename='view_poll')
user.user_permissions.add(permission)

#chack permission 
print(user.has_perm("<app_name).view_poll"))
