将用户添加到Django中的组

How would I add a user to a group in django by the group’s name?

I can do this:

user.groups.add(1) # add by id

How would I do something like this:

user.groups.add(name='groupname') # add by name

Find the group using Group model with the name of the group, then add the user to the user_set

from django.contrib.auth.models import Group
my_group = Group.objects.get(name='my_group_name') 
my_group.user_set.add(your_user)

Here’s how to do this in modern versions of Django (tested in Django 1.7):

from django.contrib.auth.models import Group
group = Group.objects.get(name='groupname')
user.groups.add(group)
