[FIXED] Django-admin won't allow me to modify user permissions and groups

Issue

When editing user model through admin interface, here's what I see: And here's what I expect to see: The second one allows me to modify the user permissions, the first one does not.

The User model I use on the first screenshot inherits from AbstractUser and is registered in the following way:

from django.contrib import admin

import accounts.models


admin.site.register(accounts.models.User)

In my settings:

DEBUG = True

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'accounts.User'

What can be the problem? How do I get from the first screenshot to the second?

Solution

OK, the actual problem was that I inherited not from AbstractUser but from AbstractBaseUser and forgot about PermissionsMixin (the mixin adds the apropriate fields). So I should've done something like this.
