Courses Plus Student 792 PointsCreating a super user User
In the create_superuser method(), how to make that the user to create to be super user, and staff?
I guess, with the user.is_staff
and user.is_superuser
is enough, but the question I do not work ...
from django.contrib.auth.models import BaseUserManager
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, dob, accepted_tos=None, password=None):
if not accepted_tos:
raise ValueError("First message")
# Make new user, user instance in memory
user = self.model(
# make sure that all the email addresses throughout your app are formatted the same way
email = self.normalize_email(email),
dob = dob,
accepted_tos = accepted_tos
)
user.set_password(password)
# handle the encryption and validation checks and so.
user.save()
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, username, display_name, password):
user = self.create_user(
email,
dob,
accepted_tos,
password,
)
user.is_staff = True
user.is_accepted_tos = True
user.is_superuser = True
user.save()
return user

I think you have mixed up the video lesson with the code challenge a little bit. Double check the values that the create_superusers method takes: it should take only email dob and password. The same thing in self.createuser() doublecheck what you are passing in.
Last thing: the 4th last line should be user.accepted_tos = True
Let me know if this helps ;)
