How to use groups in Django?

Question

Django

I have a general educational question. In projects, to restrict the rights to perform operations, I usually rewrite the standard User model and add roles to it through models.BooleanField. On the basis of which I prescribe logic in views through user.request......
I want to understand what advantages the use of group gives, what they are for, or, in fact, changing the user model, I simply duplicate the built-in functionality, and in this case, can I do without them?

You are reinventing the wheel. Django comes with a powerful and handy permissions system out of the box .
Allows you to grant rights to a group of users at once.
