Question

In a Django project am working on, I need to

have 2 user types. One is an Owner and the other is a Reseller

The superuser creates owners, and the owners create resellers under them. I want to keep track of which Resellers are registered under which Owner by connecting Owners and Resellers table via a Foreign Key. So no reseller can create an account by themselves, their owners should do that for them. How can I accomplish this?

you can find what I have tried so far in the link below

You can create permissions that allow users to do some action, and then you assign those permissions to either the user directly, or a group.

Yeah I got that, what I wanted to say is, I wanted to is that, I was trying to connect the Owner model and the Reseller like this using foreign key, class Reseller(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(Owner, on_delete=models.CASCADE) but It don't seem to do the job, I still can't know which reseller is under which owner, I was hoping if you could shed some light on that

Well, both reseller and owner are users, no? So, you make both have a user as foreignkey. But, you also make a one to many relationship between the owner and the reseller (I"m assuming a owner can "own" multiple resellers)

Yeah, one to many, as a I said. And you want to cascade that when you delete a owner, it removes all resellers
