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.

However, as I go through

Answer 1

class UserUpdateSerializer(UserSerializer):
    class Meta(UserSerializer.Meta):
        fields = ('username', 'email')

class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    def get_serializer_class(self):
        return UserUpdateSerializer if self.action == 'update' else super().get_serializer_class()
