✅

Assuming the “user” in your template is a django.contrib.auth.User instance, the simplest solution to add a is_client() method to User is to monkeypatch User:

# youmodels.py
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# your models here...

def user_is_client(user):
    try:
        client = user.client
    except Client.DoesNotExist:
        return False
    else:
        return True

User.is_client = user_is_client

But as schneck commented, it might be better to have a custom User model if your django version is recent enough.
