How to assign users to groups in django

 To add a user to a group first import Group into views.py

from django.contrib.auth.models import Group

Create a variable and assign it to the group you want to add the user to

group = Group.objects.get(name='Authors')

For this example "Authors" is the group i created and want to assign my new user to

Next, create a variable and assign it to the user you just created. Ensure that this code is set to run only on successful registration of the user.

user = User.objects.get(username=username)

And finally to add the new user

user.groups.add(group)

This will add the user to the authors group returned by the group const
