Django multiple User profiles/subprofiles

You need a combination of storing additional information about users and model inheritance.

Basically, you'll need the generic User models we all know and either love or hate, and then you need a generic profile model that is your AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE setting.

That profile model will be a top-level model, with model subclasses for internal and extrernal users. You probably don't want an abstract model in this case since you'll need a common profile table to load user profiles from with User.get_profile().

So...I think the major thing you want to change is to make your Associate, External, etc. models inherit from your Profile model.
