I am new to Django and require some help as to how best to implement an anonymous user within django 2.0.
The Aim
Essentially I am trying to create a website in which a user can fill out some fields and then this can be split into sub tables. The information they enter is only visible to themself and no other user.
The Problem
So far I have found that if you allow someone post privileges to the database then they should be an authenticated user. My issue is that I don't want to force people to sign-up just to use this app.
Questions
With this in mind, I had a look at Anonymous users in the documentation but I am not able to make much sense of it.
- Should I be creating my own model that extends AnonymousUser?
- What are some of the security issues with this approach?
- If the user closes the browser and reopens, will they be able to view their previously entered information?
- If the user wanted to sign-up at a later date, is it possible to maintain their information?
Thanks for any help
