how to set default group for new user in django?

Question

how can I set default group for new users that I create? I didn't create custom model of user and My django version is 1.11.

If you are not using custom user models, or proxy models, one possible option is to use signals, so whenever a user is created, you can assign the corresponding group:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.dispatch import receiver

@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        instance.groups.add(Group.objects.get(name='group_name'))
