I agree. The custom user will be essential for you one day and the pain
of retrofitting it is hard.
I have done a retrofit and don't recommend it unless you have no other
choice.
Definitely start a new project with a custom user and I would consider
aborting an existing project to restart with a custom user if it was
started with the standard user.
Good luck

Hi Ben,
I'll highly recommended to read fantastic post on Will Vincent
<https://wsvincent.com/> blog ->
https://wsvincent.com/django-tips-custom-user-model/
His approach is much easier than one on django website and it is worth
to have look.
Also his djangox repo on github is very useful.

Hi.
I read the part where it's "highly recommended" to create a custom
user model, but I don't see why it's worth the headache. I found
these problems:
1 In the admin panel, my auth groups are in a separate app from my
users
2 There is some disagreement out there about how apps should refer
to a user model now that the user model might be custom
3 A lot of features that I would add are app specific, and
therefore would be better handled by app specific profiles
4 There's a new entry point for possible errors and glitches
So why do this?
Thanks,
Ben
