Models

Yes, AtsUser is a Django model, and AtsUser.objects is its default manager. The manager is responsible for querying the database and returning instances of the model.

Explanation

• Model: AtsUser is a Django model class that represents a table in your database.
• Manager: AtsUser.objects is an instance of django.db.models.manager.Manager. It provides methods to query the database, such as filter(), exclude(), all(), etc.

Common Operations

1. Querying the Database:

   • AtsUser.objects.all(): Returns all instances of AtsUser.
   • AtsUser.objects.filter(ats_user_type=ATS_USER_SUPERVISOR): Returns instances of AtsUser where ats_user_type is ATS_USER_SUPERVISOR.

2. Accessing Attributes:

   • You cannot directly access attributes like ats_user_type on the manager. Instead, you need to query the database and access the attributes on the returned instances.

Accessing the attributes of an instance use __dict__ user_attributes = user.dict
