How do I manage user groups in Django?

In Django, you can manage user groups using the built-in Group model from django.contrib.auth.models. You can create, update, and delete groups easily.

Can you show me how to create a group programmatically?

Sure! You can create a group like this:

from django.contrib.auth.models import Group

new_group = Group(name='New Group')
new_group.save()

How can I add users to this group?

You can add users to a group using the add() method:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

user = User.objects.get(username='username')
new_group.user_set.add(user)

Is it possible to assign permissions to a group?

Yes, you can assign permissions to a group using the permissions attribute:

from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission

permission = Permission.objects.get(codename='can_do_something')
new_group.permissions.add(permission)
