I tried this solution for modified User and Group and Permission but it
didn't work so I ended up with something like this:
{{{
class UserAdmin(BaseUserAdmin):
def check(self, **kwargs):
class ThroughModelAdminChecks(self.checks_class):
def _check_field_spec_item(self, obj, field_name, label):
# TODO(dmu) MEDIUM: Remove `auto_created = True` after
these issues are fixed:
#
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/12203 and
#
https://github.com/django/django/pull/18612
User.user_permissions.through._meta.auto_created = True #
pylint: disable=protected-access
User.groups.through._meta.auto_created = True # pylint:
disable=protected-access
return super()._check_field_spec_item(obj, field_name,
label)
return ThroughModelAdminChecks().check(self, **kwargs)
class User(AbstractUser):
groups = models.ManyToManyField(
Group,
through=GroupPermission,
verbose_name=_("groups"),
blank=True,
help_text=_(
"The groups this user belongs to. A user will get all
permissions "
"granted to each of their groups."
),
related_name="user_set",
related_query_name="user",
)
user_permissions = models.ManyToManyField(
Permission,
through=UserPermission,
verbose_name=_("user permissions"),
blank=True,
help_text=_("Specific permissions for this user."),
related_name="user_set",
related_query_name="user",
)
}}}
