SignUp with new fields (Firstname & Lastname & UserType) does not work.
Update migrations: I suggest keeping the field name as firstname and add a second field for lastname.
Update User model
Update views

Suggestions for "SignUp" improvements:

• Firstname & Lastname Field: I suggest keeping the field name as "Full Name" instead of splitting it into Firstname and Lastname. This simplifies the form and reduces unnecessary complexity.

• UserType Field: I propose removing the UserType field entirely. Instead, the admin can assign users to specific groups (Students and Teachers) with different permissions. By default, new users will have basic permissions (for students). If a user is a teacher, the admin can grant additional permissions by adding him to the Teachers Group.

Advantages of this approach:

• Simplicity: It’s straightforward and easy to manage.

• Efficiency: No backend updates are required—only adjustments to the view.

• Scalability: Permissions are managed through groups, making it easier to adapt to future changes.

• This approach is simple, short, and effective—exactly what we need!

✅ Full Name Field: Agreed, Keeping it as a single "Full Name" field simplifies the form and improves the user experience. You can go ahead with this update.
❌ UserType Field: We’ll keep the UserType field instead of removing it. Managing roles at the registration level ensures clarity and avoids extra manual assignments later.
🔄 To align with this, we need to update the UserType in the User model and create a migration to apply the changes. Feel free to implement this as part of your update
