 # Given that support for time zones is enabled (USE_TZ setting is True), DateTimeField values (datetime objects) are stored in UTC format in usermergeDB and are generally displayed in the current time zone, that is 'Europe/Athens' by default (specified by the TIME_ZONE setting), in templates. It is possible to manually convert these values to a different time zone or/and change their display format if needed, e.g. convert them to local time (default time zone, i.e. 'Europe/Athens') or/and display them in 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS' format. For more information on time zone support and datetime objects, see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/i18n/timezones/ and the "Internationalization" part of settings.py .
 # The get_session_auth_hash() methods and is_authenticated attributes are needed for user authentication, e.g. in the login() and get_user() functions defined in auth.py and login_required() decorator used in views.py and decorators.py . Original source code for these methods/attributes can be found in https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/auth/base_user.py (for more information, see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/auth/customizing/).

 # The below defined views refer to the application site; therefore, they are not targeted at the default user model but at the application user models (see the _get_user_model_label() function of auth.py), i.e. the views can be accessed only by usermerge.{User/Admin} instances (the "usermerge." prefix is usually omitted in the application context) and not by auth.User ones - see the User_login_required() and Admin_login_required() decorators. Furthermore, the user instances (including the session one) that are created, retrieved, updated or deleted in the context of each view are usermerge.{User/Admin} instances. On the other hand, the admin site (see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/contrib/admin/) is not targeted at the application user models but at the default user model as only auth.User instances can be active staff members - each one has the is_active and is_staff attributes and the latter are set to True - and also have permissions - each one has the is_superuser, groups and user_permissions attributes as well as the relative methods, e.g. get_group_permissions(), get_all_permissions(), etc. - to access the site and utilize some or all of its capabilities. The admin site should generally be used for retrieving/reviewing model instances and not for creating, updating or deleting them - the latter actions should better be performed by appropriately defined views. When trying to create, update or delete instances via the admin site, extra care should be given to retain consistency in usermergeDB, e.g. a Platform instance could be created without any problem, while the updated password of an Admin instance would wrongly be stored in raw format (without being hashed first), etc. (for more information, see models.py).
