+
+
+For example::
+
+    from djangosaml2.backends import Saml2Backend
 
-  from djangosaml2.backends import Saml2Backend
+    class ModifiedSaml2Backend(Saml2Backend):
+        def save_user(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
+            user.save()
+            user_group = Group.objects.get(name='Default')
+            user.groups.add(user_group)
+            return super().save_user(user, *args, **kwargs)
 
-  class MySaml2Backend(Saml2Backend):
-      def save_user(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
-          # Add custom logic here
-          return super().save_user(user, *args, **kwargs)
