**Note**: The `base_name` argument is used to specify the initial part of the view name pattern. In the example above, that's the `user` or `account` part.
Typically you won't *need* to specify the `base-name` argument, but if you have a viewset where you've defined a custom `get_queryset` method, then the viewset may not have any `.model` or `.queryset` attribute set. If you try to register that viewset you'll see an error like this:
'base_name' argument not specified, and could not automatically determine the name from the viewset, as it does not have a '.model' or '.queryset' attribute.
This means you'll need to explicitly set the `base_name` argument when registering the viewset, as it could not be automatically determined from the model name.
