Description

seen on #django: <illustir> what's the difference between a user with "Active" and one with "Staff status" ? <illustir> the help text says the same thing: "Designates whether the user can log into this admin site." and "Designates whether this user can log into the Django admin. Unselect this instead of deleting accounts."

  • needs_better_patch changed.
  • needs_tests changed.
  • needs_docs changed.

forgot to mention, the problem is that the description for 'Active' is misleading. A User who's not active cannot log in at all, this flag is decoupled from the admin.
