Yes, that was it. I changed the user manager function to create superuser
into this
def create_superuser(self, email, first_name, last_name, username,
date_of_birth, password, **kwargs):
user = self.create_user(
email,
first_name=first_name,
last_name=last_name,
username=username,
date_of_birth=date_of_birth,
password=password,
is_superuser=True,
**kwargs
)
All thanks to you! Now I understand much better.
Thank you.
