I have a line of code that authenticates a user:

user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password, company=company)

Is there a method that gets an attribute from the authenticated user? Let's say this is my user database table in the system:

|username|password|company|type|
|Victor| charlie| Echo| Delta|
| Bravo | Alpha | Beta | Gamma|

I am hoping to see if there was a method that would function as follows:

user.get_type()

And it returns Delta for Victor, and Gamma for Charlie.

This is the page I have been reading for the documentation:
