Using:
class User(AbstractBaseUser):
pass #models here
I added extra fields to my custom user model. This table is created successfully in postgres with absolutely no issues, however, whilst creating a superuser the credentials gets pushed to auth_user(default django user table) instead of account_user.
auth_user shouldn't even be created alongside accounts_user?! Even worse:
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username', 'first_name', 'last_name']
which I set isn't required at all when creating superuser. It still uses default django configurations/fields.
These are in order if you're wondering: AUTH_USER_MODELS = 'accounts.User' and installed 'accounts' in INSTALLED_APPS=[ ]. What is happening?
Superuser credentials should be created in accounts_user table not auth_table in postgreSQL. REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username', 'first_name', 'last_name'] should be requested whilst creating superuser.
