  • Welcome messages
  • Data export notifications
  • Account deletion confirmations
  • Password change alerts

Customizing Templates

Override templates by creating files in your project:

templates/
├── account/
│   └── email/
│       ├── email_confirmation_message.html
│       ├── password_reset_key_message.html
│       └── welcome_message.html
└── socialaccount/
    └── email/
        └── account_connected.html

GDPR Compliance & Data Export System

Data Export with File Downloads

Users can request data exports that are processed asynchronously and delivered via secure download links:

# Request export
POST /api/auth/data-requests/
{
    "request_type": "EXPORT"
}

# User receives email with download link when ready
# Download via secure token (no authentication required)
GET /api/auth/data-export/download/{secure-token}/

Export Features:

  • Multi-file ZIP archives with organized data (JSON, CSV, JSONL)
  • Memory-efficient processing for large datasets
  • Secure token-based downloads with expiration
  • Automatic cleanup of expired files
  • Email notifications when export is ready

Custom Data Exporters

Create custom exporters for application-specific data:

# settings.py
DJANGO_MYUSER = {
    'DATA_EXPORTER_CLASS': 'myapp.exporters.CustomUserDataExporter',
    'EXPORT_FILE_PATH': 'user_exports/',
    'EXPORT_FILE_RETENTION_DAYS': 14,
}

# myapp/exporters.py
from django_myuser.exporters import UserDataExporter

class CustomUserDataExporter(UserDataExporter):
    def generate_data(self, data_request, user):
        with self.create_export_builder(user) as builder:
            # Add custom app data
            builder.add_json_file('orders.json', self.get_user_orders(user))
            builder.add_csv_file('activity.csv', self.get_user_activity(user))
            
            return builder.create_archive('custom_export')

Data Deletion

Users can request account deletion:

POST /api/auth/data-requests/
{
    "request_type": "DELETE"
}

Marketing Consent

Track and manage marketing consent:

PUT /api/auth/profile/
{
    "marketing_consent": true
}

Rate Limiting

Built-in rate limiting on sensitive endpoints:

# Custom throttle rates
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_THROTTLE_RATES': {
        'login': '10/min',
        'password_reset': '5/hour',
        'data_request': '2/day',
    }
}

Audit Logging

All security events are automatically logged:

  • Login/logout events
  • Password changes
  • Social account connections
  • Data requests
  • Suspicious activities

Access logs through the Django admin or API.

Running Celery

Start Celery worker for async email processing and data exports:

# Basic worker
celery -A your_project worker -l info

# With beat scheduler (recommended for cleanup tasks)
celery -A your_project worker -B -l info

# Separate beat process
celery -A your_project beat -l info

# Periodic cleanup of expired export files
celery -A your_project worker -B --scheduler=django_celery_beat.schedulers:DatabaseScheduler

Celery Tasks

The package includes these Celery tasks:

  • send_async_email - Send notification emails
  • process_data_request - Process export/deletion requests
  • cleanup_expired_exports - Remove expired export files (run daily)

Testing

Run the test suite:

# Install test dependencies
pip install pytest pytest-django pytest-cov factory-boy

# Run tests
pytest

# Run with coverage
pytest --cov=django_myuser

Security Considerations

  • Always use HTTPS in production
  • Configure proper CORS settings
  • Set strong JWT signing keys
  • Use Redis for production Celery broker
  • Implement proper rate limiting
  • Monitor audit logs for suspicious activity
  • Regular security updates
