Courses Plus Student 13,800 PointsBummer: Try again
Update the create_editor method in the UserManager so that, when an editor is created, they're automatically added to a group named "Editors".
The "Editors" group may not exist and might not have the can_give_discount permission, so make sure to handle those scenarios.
not sure what I'm doing wrong, please help

4,160 PointsFor anyone else who needs help with this challenge, this is what worked for me. Note that you only need to modify the create_editor
method, and nothing else.
def create_editor(self, email, dob, password):
user = self.create_user(
email,
dob,
accepted_tos=True,
password=password
)
try:
editors = Group.objects.get(name__iexact='Editors')
except Group.DoesNotExist:
editors = Group.objects.create(name='Editors')
editors.permissions.add(
Permission.objects.get(codename='can_give_discount')
)
user.groups.add(editors)
return user

Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 17,108 PointsChristopher Gomez, Chris Freeman. Hello, I was wondering if either of you could help me understand how to pass this challenge. I've tried copying the code from the video, Christopher's version, and a few other varieties. I'm at a loss at this point. I'm not really sure what small detail I need to pass. I would appreciate the help a ton. Thank you!
