Django AbstractUser not working properly

Question

I am trying to inherit from AbstractUSer my models.py looks like:

class MyUser(AbstractUser): created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) USERNAME_FIELD = 'email' REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username',] MyUser._meta.get_field_by_name('email')[0]._unique=True

now by declaring email as unique field and username as a required field my superuser is being created successfully and also is being authenticated properly but I am having a problem while creating any other user as if I am creating any user through my admin page its not being authenticated.It always returns

None

My admin.py:

from django.contrib import admin from credilet.models import * admin.site.register(MyUser)

What I am thinking is that the create_user is not being called properly as if I see in my admin page the password is not hashed so that means the create_user is not being called properly.Somebody please help through it or even if you have a proper documentation on abstractuser

not abstractbaseuser

so please refer that to me in the solutions.

Thanks

If you want to change the authentication system you have to use AbstractBaseUser, look at this full example.

AbstractUser is ok to Extend Django’s default User.

i just want to use email as my username but by extending it through abstract base user I have to go through all the backend system I mean I have to define my custom create_user and create_superuser and all that stuff and for avoiding that I used Abstract user so is there any possibility that I could use abstract user and and just define my username and rest of the things just same as django's user object

I think you should add UserAdmin into admin.py for Myuser if you does not add UserAdmin , password can't be hashed with django:

from django.contrib import admin from credilet.models import * from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin admin.site.register(MyUser, UserAdmin) # add UserAdmin
