- `username`: User's username.
- `email` User's email.
- `uid` User's unique ID
- `name` User's display name.
- `is_staff` Boolean field if user is staff.
- `is_active` Boolean field if user is active.
- `date_joined` Date user joined/was created.
- `password_change_date` Date password was last changed.
- `path` User's path, see [Path](#path)
- `attributes` Dynamic attributes, see [Attributes](#attributes)
- `group_attributes()` Merged attributes of all groups the user is member of and the user's own attributes.
- `ak_groups` This is a queryset of all the user's groups.
You can do additional filtering like:
```python
user.ak_groups.filter(name__startswith='test')
```
For Django field lookups, see [here](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/models/querysets/#id4).
To get the name of all groups, you can use this command:
```python
[group.name for group in user.ak_groups.all()]
```

```
### List a user's group memberships and filter based on group name

## Path
Paths can be used to organize users into folders depending on which source created them or organizational structure. Paths may not start or end with a slash, but they can contain any other character as path segments. The paths are currently purely used for organization, it does not affect their permissions, group memberships, or anything else.
