custom django-user object has no attribute 'has_module_perms'

Question

My custom user model for login via email:

class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)  # AutoField?
    is_superuser = models.Int         


        

Answer 1

Your User implementation is not providing the mandatory methods to be used with the Admin module.

See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/contrib/admin/#module-django.contrib.admin.

In your case, add the permissions mixin (PermissionsMixin), as a superclass of your model:

from django.contrib.auth.models import PermissionsMixin


class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
     # ...

It is described here : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-users-and-permissions.

It works with Django 1.x, 2.x and 3.0.

EDIT: updated links to django version 3.0
