My project need an admin for staff and a normal website for normal user.
Staff can only login to staffsite and normal user can only login to
website. Staff will login to admin to do some management. They can
view normal user list and detail and create or delete normal user
admin. The two type of user is very different, so I want to write a model
for each of them, instead of using is_staff flag. But in a project, I can
only have a USER_AUTH_MODEL. Is there a good way to implement these
requirements?
Since a project can only have a USER_AUTH_MODEL, I separate the two type of
user in two project (staffsite and website).
My currently design and implementation is as follow:
I wrote a standalone django app called member, and implement Member model
class Member(AbstractBaseUser):
#member related fields
then I create two project “staffsite" and “website". “staffsite" is for
internal use, “website" is open for normal user. “staffsite" just use the
django built in auth.User. Member model in “staffsite" is just a normal
model. “website" use Member model as USER_AUTH_MODEL.
I have two database, one for “staffsite" and one for “website". Since
“staffsite" need to access Member’s data, so I implement a db router for
“staffsite". Whenever I need to access Member’s data in
“staffsite", router will route me to the correct db (You can say that I use
db to link “staffsite” and “website” together.)
member app need to install in both “staffsite" and “website", so I will
have two copy of member app. This is not good for maintenance. Whenever I
change the code in member app, I need to copy and paste to another one. I
extract member app and create a standalone app, and after that I can use
pip install -e to install member app for both project and I only have to
keep one copy of code.
This design is work, but I want to know whether there is a better way to
meet the requirements.
