auth.models.AnonymousUser

class models.AnonymousUser

django.contrib.auth.models.AnonymousUser is a class that implements the django.contrib.auth.models.User interface, with these differences:

• id is always None.
• username is always the empty string.
• get_username() always returns the empty string.
• is_anonymous is True instead of False.
• is_authenticated is False instead of True.
• is_staff and is_superuser are always False.
• is_active is always False.
• groups and user_permissions are always empty.
• set_password(), check_password(), save() and delete() raise NotImplementedError.

In practice, you probably won’t need to use AnonymousUser objects on your own, but they’re used by Web requests, as explained in the next section.
