What is the relationship between res.partner and res.user? If I override res.partner, to create 'students', will users be automatically created?

Question

I'm a little bit confused how does res.partner and res.user related by default?
if we have something like this
class OpStudent(models.Model):

_name = 'op.student'
_inherits = {'res.partner': 'partner_id'}

middle_name = fields.Char('Middle Name', size=128)
last_name = fields.Char('Last Name', size=128, required=True)
birth_date = fields.Date('Birth Date', required=True)

does it means it creates user automatically when we create student.

Hi Andrew,
The relationship between  res.partner  and  res.user  is that  * res.user  inherits from  res.partner  using an inheritance type called "Delegation Inheritance", * See This [1]
Actually only res.users has a "real" relationship to res.partner, because with every user odoo will create a partner (per default no customer and no supplier). this partner will be used e.g. for emails and the followers system in odoo.
But you can have partners without users, too. That will be a normal partner,
