I have created just a simple django app to login using tweeter, but when i try to login from my app I get this message "You are authenticated as xxx, but are not authorized to access this page. Would you like to login to a different account?"
I have tried to login with account I used to create the app and different account, but the result is the same. What could be the solution to this?
I am using django and django-allauth library
On the terminal type:
$ python manage.py shell
$ from django.contrib.auth.models import User
$ u = User.objects.get(username='testmyapp')
$ u.is_superuser = True
$ u.save()
$ quit()
$ python manage.py runserver
If using a custom user model (which the Django docs recommend), Django will throw an error: "AttributeError: Manager isn't available...", which is the problem @elizandro-sparcbr had in 2021.
The steps are a bit different than the answer by @Paolo. When I ran into the "Manager isn't available" problem, the steps below worked for me in Feb 2022, on Django 3.2.
settings.py
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = 'none'
(Or if using cookiecutter, then in settings folder, modify base.py as above.)
In the terminal:
$ python manage.py shell
$ from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
$ User = get_user_model()
$ u = User.objects.get(username='testmyap')
$ u.is_staff = True # required to access admin panel
$ u.is_superuser = True # optional
$ u.save()
$ quit()
The key steps that are different are the 2nd and 3rd lines above.
