get_all_permissions(user_obj, obj=None) Returns the set of permission strings the user_obj has, including both user permissions and group permissions. Returns an empty set if is_anonymous or is_active is False.

authenticate(username=None, password=None, **kwargs) Tries to authenticate username with password by calling User.check_password. If no username is provided, it tries to fetch a username from kwargs using the key CustomUser.USERNAME_FIELD. Returns an authenticated user or None.

class AllowAllUsersModelBackend New in Django 1.10. Same as ModelBackend except that it doesn’t reject inactive users because user_can_authenticate() always returns True. When using this backend, you’ll likely want to customize the AuthenticationForm used by the login() view by overriding the confirm_login_allowed() method as it rejects inactive users.

apps.get_model(app_label, model_name) Returns the Model with the given app_label and model_name. As a shortcut, this method also accepts a single argument in the form app_label.model_name. model_name is case-insensitive. Raises LookupError if no such application or model exists. Raises ValueError when called with a single argument that doesn’t contain exactly one dot.

apps.ready Boolean attribute that is set to True after the registry is fully populated and all AppConfig.ready() methods are called.

class AllowAllUsersRemoteUserBackend New in Django 1.10. Same as RemoteUserBackend except that it doesn’t reject inactive users because user_can_authenticate always returns True.

authenticate(**credentials) [source] Use authenticate() to verify a set of credentials. It takes credentials as keyword arguments, username and password for the default case, checks them against each authentication backend, and returns a User object if the credentials are valid for a backend. If the credentials aren’t valid for any backend or if a backend raises PermissionDenied, it returns None. For example: from django.contrib.auth import authenticate user = authenticate(username='john', p

apps.is_installed(app_name) Checks whether an application with the given name exists in the registry. app_name is the full name of the app, e.g. 'django.contrib.admin'.

AppConfig.path Filesystem path to the application directory, e.g. '/usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin'. In most cases, Django can automatically detect and set this, but you can also provide an explicit override as a class attribute on your AppConfig subclass. In a few situations this is required; for instance if the app package is a namespace package with multiple paths.

AppConfig.verbose_name Human-readable name for the application, e.g. “Administration”. This attribute defaults to label.title().
