[Answered ]-How to make a user act as a seller and as a buyer at the same time in Django?

Django Authentication System provides the ability to delegate users into groups with permissions.

The admin interface tackles with this very smoothly

You can, of course, achieve the same result programmatically.

Then, in your view, you can check if the logged in user has permission to add a new object in the models SellProduct and BuyProduct of the application marketplace:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required

@login_required
def create_sale_view(request):
    if request.user.has_perm(
        "marketplace.add_sellproduct"
    ) and request.user.has_perm("marketplace.add_buyproduct"):
        # The user can buy and sell
        pass
    else:
        # The user cannot buy nor sell
        pass

class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
    is_customer = models.BooleanField(default = False)
    is_seller = models.BooleanField(default = False)

class Customer(models.Model):
    buyer = models.OneToOneField(CustomUser, on_delete= models.CASCADE)
    address  = models.TextField()

class Seller(models.Model):
    seller = models.OneToOneField(CustomUser, on_delete= models.CASCADE)
    store = models.CharField(max_length = 90)

You can use this approach and block the customer or seller’s access using decorators. I’ve used this method to build my website.
