30012	Ability to specify a custom AnonymousUser	Sanket Saurav	nobody	"Currently, it isn't possible to tell Django auth to use a custom AnonymousUser. https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/auth/__init__.py#L179

There is a case in favour of the need for this: if an application uses a custom user model, there can be additional properties and methods added to it, and it makes sense for the AnonymousUser to be able to mirror those properties (even if they are falsey). For the sake of coherence, I believe it makes sense to have the ability to specify a custom AnonymousUser class, just as the AbstractUser."
