Django different types of user

I want to build a simple website with Django, and so far I have made a sign-up form that everyone can sign up and publish some announcement.

For next stage I want to make the user can only view the announcement by default, I also want to have another type of user can view and create an announcement.

How should I build my user model and sign up forms? Should I use things like permission or AbstractUser?

the current sign up forms.py I am using is like

from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
class UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm):
    class Meta:
        fields = ("username", "email", "password1", "password2")
        model = get_user_model()

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields["username"].label = "Display name"
        self.fields["email"].label = "Email address"

and the views about the announcement is like

#show all announcement
class AnnouncementListView(ListView):
    ...

#show a specific announcement
class PostDetailView(DetailView):
    ...

#create a announcement
class CreatePostView(LoginRequiredMixin,CreateView):
    ...

Thanks!

Create groups (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/auth/) from the django admin. Then write decorator for your CreatePostView.https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1703/
