Date: dl., ag. 5, 2013 11:21 Hi, I got it working at a basic level by just registering against UserAdmin. from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin admin.site.register(Customer, UserAdmin) For custom fields, I just needed to add them to fieldsets. However, even though I could view/edit users, adding new Users failed - the forms seemed to be looking specifically for auth_user. Apparently this is something that could be made easier? https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19353 http://stackoverflow.com/a/17496836/139137 Is that something that could be in 1.6?

Also, when you go to edit a User, it gives you a Change Password form (e.g. /admin/auth/user/2/password/) I'm using a custom user model in my Django app, by inheriting from AbstractCustomer. If I add this to the admin now, password is just a standard textbox, and obviously if I create a user through that, I can't login since I assume it's not hashing the password. Is there any way I can use the normal Django User admin forms with a custom User model? Secondly, I tried creating a user via the create_user() method on my custom User object - I still wasn't able to login to the admin using that username/password, which I thought was weird. Have you read the documentation on this issue? https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-users-and-the-built-in-auth-forms The docs discuss what you have to do in order to get your User model represented in the admin, and also provide a worked example. If you've got a specific question that isn't covered by the docs, or if you're confused by what the docs say, let us know.
