Using Django Users for all logged in users, and registering them
I was just talking to an advanced developer friend of mine about this. He said using djangos users is frowned upon and to build it out separately. I don't know much more on this but it's something I will be doing in the future.
I have a site that - other than the signup process - will be only used by logged in users. It's my first Django site, and I'm wondering whether I can use the Django user model (slightly extended) to work with all my users, or should it only be used for administrative users such as myself?
Apologies if this is a stupid question. Additionally, and either way, what's the best way to manage user registrations? It'd be awesome if this were built into Django, but it's not, and I read django-registration is relatively abandoned. Any recommendations welcome.
