Hi, You don't have permissions to edit anything, because you haven't created a superuser.
The superuser in django has a property that is called "is_superuser" and should be set to True. If you don't have that property (and your createsuperuser sets some other property), you will have the same rights as everyone else, which is nothing to begin with. You can add rights to the user be adding the permissions you want, or by setting the is_superuser property to True. Check the documentation for the django admin site here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/admin/ Regards, Andréas 2015-11-06 0:15 GMT+01:00 Benjamin Smith <benjaminsmith5...@gmail.com>: > I followed the django doc > <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/auth/customizing/#a-full-example> > on creating a custom user model while extending the model itself with my > own fields.
