Only If your User object need more than primary attributes like Nick Name, Skype or Phone No, etc... whatever.

In this case you can extend to use your own User object by creating ...

class Profile(Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    nike_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

For more details User Object

I think you're referring to a [custom user model](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/auth/customizing/#auth-custom-user). <-- That link is the new recommended way of doing it. – rnevius Feb 24 '15 at 07:41
@rnevius No... See OP got confuse about User object that's why the answer clarify. But I too aware that `AUTH_USER_MODEL` is best for Substituting user object. – Raja Simon Feb 24 '15 at 07:49
