How to automatically add group and staff permissions when user is created

I'm runnging Django 2.0.8 and currently using django-allauth.

When a new user registes/signs up, I would like them to automatically be added to a group and given staff status so they can log into the admin page.

I've read some of the documentation but I currently don't understand how it all ties together and each new user is defaulted to some permissions.

In this case if you don't have access to User model and it's save function you can add your logic in post save signal.

@receiver(models.signals.post_save, sender=User)
def post_save_user_signal_handler(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
       instance.is_staff = True
       group = Group.objects.get(name='Group name')
       instance.groups.add(group)
       instance.save()

To mark new user as staff use is_staff attribute. To add user to the group fetch Group object from DB and add it to the user using user.groups.add(group):

from django.contrib.auth.models import Group

user = User.objects.create_user('john', '[email protected]', 'johnpassword')
user.is_staff = True
user.save()
group = Group.objects.get(name='Group name')
user.groups.add(group)
