The problem with this call is that IS_IN_SET requires the set to be its
first argument, thus:
auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user']= [
Field('user_type', requires=IS_IN_SET(('Admin', 'Staff')))]
This makes the first argument a tuple, ('Admin', 'Staff'), instead of a
string, 'Admin' (which happens to be iterable, of course).
For readability, you could write IS_IN_SET(['Admin', 'Staff']) or
IS_IN_SET(tuple('Admin', 'Staff'))
No need to use a dict.

[web2py] hard time understanding query and set objects

To fetch rows one uses , rows = db(db.mytable.myfield!=None).select() it returns a collection of rows, that is fine. But, what is a 'set' then? Isn't 'rows' itself a set of records? 2.

But, what is a 'set' then? Isn't 'rows' itself a set of records? A Set defines a set of records but doesn't actually select them from the db -- so it's like a conceptual representation of the records, but not the records themselves. When you apply the select() method to the Set, you actually pull the records from the database and transform them to a Python object (a Rows object). The distinction is useful because Sets have other methods besides select(), such as update(), count(), and delete(). This makes things clear now. 2. A query object represents a sql 'where' clause like, myquery = (db.mytable.myfield != None) | (db.mytable.myfield 'A') Can't the same thing be done like, rows = db((db.mytable.myfield!=None) | (db.mytable.myfield 'A')) what is the need of having a query object? What is your proposed alternative? using, myset = db((db.mytable.myfield!None)|(db.mytable.myfield'A')) and then rows = myset.select() will do the same thing, will it? so that we can skip two lines , one defining the myquery(db.mytable.myfield!None)|(db.mytable.myfield'A'), then calling myset=db(myquery)

Your alternative is actually the more common usage. I thought you were suggesting there is no need for a separate query object at all. It can be useful in some cases, though. Consider a base query to which you might want to add various optional conditions: base_query = (db.mytable.myfield != None) You might want to add additional conditions to that query in different scenarios: db(base_query (db.mytable.myfield 'A')) You might also want to use the same query with different db objects. Things are much clear now for me, thank you so much.
