<h1>Accounts<a class="headerlink" href="#accounts" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>All <em>users</em> (real people) that starts a game <a class="reference internal" href="Sessions.html"><span class="doc">Session</span></a> on Evennia are doing so through an
object called <em>Account</em>. The Account object has no in-game representation, it represents a unique
game account. In order to actually get on the game the Account must <em>puppet</em> an <a class="reference internal" href="Objects.html"><span class="doc">Object</span></a>
(normally a <a class="reference external" href="Components/Objects.html#Character">Character</a>).</p>
<p>Exactly how many Sessions can interact with an Account and its Puppets at once is determined by
Evennia’s <a class="reference external" href="Components/Sessions.html#Multisession-mode">MULTISESSION_MODE</a> setting.</p>
<p>Apart from storing login information and other account-specific data, the Account object is what is
chatting on <a class="reference internal" href="Communications.html"><span class="doc">Channels</span></a>. It is also a good place to store <a class="reference internal" href="Locks.html"><span class="doc">Permissions</span></a> to be
consistent between different in-game characters as well as configuration options. The Account
object also has its own <a class="reference internal" href="Command-Sets.html"><span class="doc">CmdSet</span></a>, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">AccountCmdSet</span></code>.</p>
<p>Logged into default evennia, you can use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ooc</span></code> command to leave your current
<a class="reference internal" href="Objects.html"><span class="doc">character</span></a> and go into OOC mode. You are quite limited in this mode, basically it works
like a simple chat program. It acts as a staging area for switching between Characters (if your
game supports that) or as a safety mode if your Character gets deleted. Use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ic</span></code> to attempt to
(re)puppet a Character.</p>
<p>Note that the Account object can have, and often does have, a different set of
<a class="reference external" href="Components/Locks.html#Permissions">Permissions</a> from the Character they control. Normally you should put your
permissions on the Account level - this will overrule permissions set on the Character level. For
the permissions of the Character to come into play the default <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">quell</span></code> command can be used. This
allows for exploring the game using a different permission set (but you can’t escalate your
permissions this way - for hierarchical permissions like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Builder</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Admin</span></code> etc, the <em>lower</em> of the
permissions on the Character/Account will always be used).</p>
<div class="section" id="how-to-create-your-own-account-types">
<h2>How to create your own Account types<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-create-your-own-account-types" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>You will usually not want more than one Account typeclass for all new accounts (but you could in
principle create a system that changes an account’s typeclass dynamically).</p>
<p>An Evennia Account is, per definition, a Python class that includes <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">evennia.DefaultAccount</span></code> among
its parents. In <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mygame/typeclasses/accounts.py</span></code> there is an empty class ready for you to modify.
Evennia defaults to using this (it inherits directly from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DefaultAccount</span></code>).</p>
<p>Here’s an example of modifying the default Account class in code:</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><table class="highlighttable"><tr><td class="linenos"><div class="linenodiv"><pre> 1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

12</pre></div></td><td class="code"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> <span class="c1"># in mygame/typeclasses/accounts.py</span>
<span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">evennia</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">DefaultAccount</span>
<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">Account</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">DefaultAccount</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="c1"># [...]</span>
<span class="n">at_account_creation</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="s2">&quot;this is called only once, when account is first created&quot;</span>
<span class="bp">self</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">db</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">real_name</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="bp">None</span> <span class="c1"># this is set later self.db.real_address = None # &quot;</span>
<span class="bp">self</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">db</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">config_1</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="bp">True</span> <span class="c1"># default config self.db.config_2 = False # &quot;</span>
<span class="bp">self</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">db</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">config_3</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">1</span> <span class="c1"># &quot;</span>
<span class="c1"># ... whatever else our game needs to know ``` Reload the server with `reload`. </span>
</pre></div>
</td></tr></table></div>
<p>… However, if you use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">examine</span> <span class="pre">*self</span></code> (the asterisk makes you examine your Account object rather
than your Character), you won’t see your new Attributes yet. This is because <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">at_account_creation</span></code>
is only called the very <em>first</em> time the Account is called and your Account object already exists
(any new Accounts that connect will see them though). To update yourself you need to make sure to
re-fire the hook on all the Accounts you have already created. Here is an example of how to do this
using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">py</span></code>:</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">py</span> <span class="pre">[account.at_account_creation()</span> <span class="pre">for</span> <span class="pre">account</span> <span class="pre">in</span> <span class="pre">evennia.managers.accounts.all()]</span></code></p>
<p>You should now see the Attributes on yourself.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><p>If you wanted Evennia to default to a completely <em>different</em> Account class located elsewhere, you
must point Evennia to it. Add <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BASE_ACCOUNT_TYPECLASS</span></code> to your settings file, and give the python
path to your custom class as its value. By default this points to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">typeclasses.accounts.Account</span></code>,
the empty template we used above.</p>
</div></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="section" id="properties-on-accounts">
<h2>Properties on Accounts<a class="headerlink" href="#properties-on-accounts" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Beyond those properties assigned to all typeclassed objects (see <a class="reference internal" href="Typeclasses.html"><span class="doc">Typeclasses</span></a>), the
Account also has the following custom properties:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">user</span></code> - a unique link to a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">User</span></code> Django object, representing the logged-in user.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">obj</span></code> - an alias for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">character</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">name</span></code> - an alias for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">user.username</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sessions</span></code> - an instance of
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/blob/master/evennia.objects.objects#objectsessionhandler">ObjectSessionHandler</a>
managing all connected Sessions (physical connections) this object listens to (Note: In older
versions of Evennia, this was a list). The so-called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">session-id</span></code> (used in many places) is found
as
a property <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sessid</span></code> on each Session instance.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">is_superuser</span></code> (bool: True/False) - if this account is a superuser.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Special handlers:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmdset</span></code> - This holds all the current <a class="reference internal" href="Commands.html"><span class="doc">Commands</span></a> of this Account. By default these are
the commands found in the cmdset defined by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">settings.CMDSET_ACCOUNT</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nicks</span></code> - This stores and handles <a class="reference internal" href="Nicks.html"><span class="doc">Nicks</span></a>, in the same way as nicks it works on Objects.
For Accounts, nicks are primarily used to store custom aliases for
<a class="reference external" href="Components/Communications.html#Channels">Channels</a>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Selection of special methods (see <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">evennia.DefaultAccount</span></code> for details):</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">get_puppet</span></code> - get a currently puppeted object connected to the Account and a given session id, if
any.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">puppet_object</span></code> - connect a session to a puppetable Object.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">unpuppet_object</span></code> - disconnect a session from a puppetable Object.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">msg</span></code> - send text to the Account</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">execute_cmd</span></code> - runs a command as if this Account did it.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">search</span></code> - search for Accounts.</p></li>
