Django Rest Framework: Disable field update after object is created

Question

I\'m trying to make my User model RESTful via Django Rest Framework API calls, so that I can create users as well as update their profiles.

My approach is to modify the perform_update method when using generics view classes. I remove the field when update is performed.

        rem_field = serializer.validated_data.pop('some_field', None)
        serializer.save()
