I am using django rest framework and DjangoModelPermissions, I have serialized the default User Model to get information about the users and their permissions and also admin can change the permission as per requirement from the front-end (some JavaScript) or make some user a superuser.
The problem is when admin tries to do a PUT statement with new data it fails. In User model password is the mandatory required field. I have got user's authentication token(which does not work) and i have not serialized password from users model and i don't want to.
I tried to append serialize data before saving to add one more field "password" by getting the values using user.objects.get(username=data_from_serializer_data).password but i am not able to add an extra field(password field) to serializer data.
What may be the way to achieve my goals? how can i add password value in serializer data(at back-end) and then send complete data for update.
Also i read somewhere that serializer.data is a property which can not be edited. If true what else will i have to do to complete my task?
Thanks
