How to create custom user model in django?

Question

Django

How to create a model of a user who, when registering, needs to specify a login, password, as well as the login of the person who invited (autocomplete from the column in the table)? How is it better to implement authentication - through the admin panel or create a separate page for ordinary "mortal" users? Why?

Answer 1

In the new jang, you can customize the user model.
Ask Google moderators to remove your search ban.
A concise retelling, given that you are creating an application from scratch, and not migrating from a created application with a ready-made base and users:

class Article(models.Model):
    author = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)

And you do the same for signals:

def post_save_receiver(signal, sender, instance, **kwargs):
    pass

post_save.connect(post_save_receiver, sender=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)

You create a user model in which you specify an identifier field (for example, it can be a name field, or an email field, or some other).

class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser):
    identifier = models.CharField(max_length=40, unique=True)
    ...
    USERNAME_FIELD = 'identifier'

In the same model, you prescribe the fields necessary for registration:

class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser):
    ...
    date_of_birth = models.DateField()
    height = models.FloatField()
    ...
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['date_of_birth', 'height']

You also need to override some methods and fields if necessary (the docs say which ones)

You need to create new forms for your user and customize the admin class, taking into account your new fields
