Dear Experts, I am new to Django and need your help.

I want a set of variables populated into session variables. These will be fixed values for the user such as which company he belongs to, his email id, his role etc.

These values will be read from the database by the login form. These values need to stay in these variables as long as the user is logged into the application.

I will be using these variables to decide what data the user can see.

This sounds like a rudimentary permission system. Instead of keeping permissions in the session, I would suggest using the built-in permissions, or extending the authorization system using something like Django-guardian.

Question I have is "Will these values be different for each user who is logged in or are these global to the application and all the users will see these same values?

Each session is unique to each user. If you need something global to the system, the session is definitely not the place to put it.

I am using the below code to get the values from the table called "users" where userroles, companyid are fields in the table

         tFetchData = users.objects.get(emailid = lEmailId)

        request.session['sPassword'] = tFetchData.userroles

        request.session['sCompanyId'] = tFetchData.companyid

This code didn't appear to have anything to do with your question.
