[Python] encode Pydantic field using the Enum name instead of the value

I have a Enum class:

class Group(enum.Enum):
user = 0
manager = 1
admin = 2


I have a pydantic model:

class User(BaseModel):
id: int
username: str
group: Group


It generated serialised to json following:

{
"id": 5,
"username": "admin",
"group": 2
}


However, I would like to get the name of the enum field instead of its value, so it should be:

{
"id": 5,
"username": "admin",
"group": "admin"
}


Is this possible at all? If so, how?
