Custom user model for django >=1.5 with support for multiple user types and
lots of other awesome utils (mostly borrowed from other projects). If you are
using django < 1.11, please install v0.2.1 or earlier (`pip install
django-users2<=0.2.1`).

Features
--------

* email as username for authentication (barebone extendable user models)
* support for multiple user types (using the awesome django-model-utils)
* automatically creates superuser after syncdb/migrations (really handy during the initial development phases)
* built in emails/passwords validators (with lots of customisable options)
* prepackaged with all the templates, including additional templates required by views in ``django.contrib.auth`` (for a painless signup process)

Documentation
-------------

The full documentation is at https://django-users2.readthedocs.org.

Quickstart
----------

1. Install `django-users2`::

pip install django-users2

2. Add `django-users2` to `INSTALLED_APPS`::

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.sites',
'users',
...
)

3. Set your `AUTH_USER_MODEL` setting to use ``users.User``::

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'users.User'

4. Once you’ve done this, run the ``migrate`` command to install the model used by this package::

python manage.py migrate

5. Add the `django-users2` URLs to your project’s URLconf as follows::

urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
url(r'^accounts/', include('users.urls')),
...
)

which sets up URL patterns for the views in django-users2 as well as several useful views in django.contrib.auth (e.g. login, logout, password change/reset)

Configuration
-----------------------
Set ``USERS_VERIFY_EMAIL = True`` to enable email verification for registered users.

When a new ``User`` object is created, with its ``is_active`` field set to ``False``, an activation key is generated, and an email is sent to the user containing a link to click to activate the account::

USERS_VERIFY_EMAIL = False

Upon clicking the activation link, the new account is made active (i.e. ``is_active`` field is set to ``True``); after this, the user can log in. Optionally, you can automatically login the user after successful activation::

USERS_AUTO_LOGIN_ON_ACTIVATION = True

This is the number of days the users will have, to activate their accounts after registering::

USERS_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_TIMEOUT_DAYS = 3

Automatically create django ``superuser`` after ``syncdb``, by default this option is enabled when ``settings.DEBUG = True``.

You can customise the email/password by overriding ``USERS_SUPERUSER_EMAIL`` and ``USERS_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD`` settings (highly recommended)::

USERS_CREATE_SUPERUSER = settings.DEBUG
USERS_SUPERUSER_EMAIL = '[email protected]'
USERS_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD = 'django'

Prevent automated registration by spambots, by enabling a hidden (using css) honeypot field::

USERS_SPAM_PROTECTION = True

Prevent user registrations by setting ``USERS_REGISTRATION_OPEN = False``::

USERS_REGISTRATION_OPEN = True

Settings for validators, that check the strength of user specified passwords::

# Specifies minimum length for passwords:
USERS_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH = 5

#Specifies maximum length for passwords:
USERS_PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH = None

Optionally, the complexity validator, checks the password strength::

USERS_CHECK_PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY = True

Specify number of characters within various sets that a password must contain::

USERS_PASSWORD_POLICY = {
'UPPER': 0, # Uppercase 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
'LOWER': 0, # Lowercase 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
'DIGITS': 0, # Digits '0123456789'
'PUNCTUATION': 0 # Punctuation """!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~"""
}

Allow/disallow registration using emails addresses from specific domains::

USERS_VALIDATE_EMAIL_DOMAIN = True

List of disallowed domains::

USERS_EMAIL_DOMAINS_BLACKLIST = []

For example, ``USERS_EMAIL_DOMAINS_BLACKLIST = ['mailinator.com']`` will block all visitors from using mailinator.com email addresses to register.

List of allowed domains::

USERS_EMAIL_DOMAINS_WHITELIST = []

For example, ``USERS_EMAIL_DOMAINS_WHITELIST = ['ljworld.com']`` will only allow user registration with ljworld.com domains.
