This is a way of differentiating User and AnonymousUser objects. Generally, you should prefer using is_authenticated() to this method. is_authenticated() Always returns True. This is a way to tell if the user has been authenticated. This does not imply any permissions, and doesn't check if the user is active - it only indicates that the user has provided a valid username and password. -P",New feature,closed,Documentation,dev,Normal,fixed,,,Accepted,0,0,0,0,0,0
