string is the correct password for the user. (This takes care of the
password hashing in making the comparison.)
* ``set_unusable_password()`` -- Marks the user as having no password set.
This isn't the same as having a blank string for a password.
``check_password()`` for this user will never return ``True``. Doesn't
save the ``User`` object.
You may need this if authentication for your application takes place
against an existing external source such as an LDAP directory.
* ``has_usable_password()`` -- Returns ``False`` if
``set_unusable_password()`` has been called for this user.
* ``get_group_permissions()`` -- Returns a list of permission strings that
the user has, through his/her groups.
@ -152,9 +163,11 @@ Manager functions
The ``User`` model has a custom manager that has the following helper functions:
* ``create_user(username, email, password)`` -- Creates, saves and returns
a ``User``. The ``username``, ``email`` and ``password`` are set as
given, and the ``User`` gets ``is_active=True``.
* ``create_user(username, email, password=None)`` -- Creates, saves and
returns a ``User``. The ``username``, ``email`` and ``password`` are set
as given, and the ``User`` gets ``is_active=True``.
If no password is provided, ``set_unusable_password()`` will be called.
See _`Creating users` for example usage.
