In Django, how do I check if a user is in a certain group?

Question

I created a custom group in Django\'s admin site.

In my code, I want to check if a user is in this group. How do I do that?

Answer 1

If you need the list of users that are in a group, you can do this instead:

from django.contrib.auth.models import Group
users_in_group = Group.objects.get(name="group name").user_set.all()

and then check

 if user in users_in_group:
     # do something

to check if the user is in the group.
