Hi I am trying to create a superuser, however, after I added my own ProfileManager I get the error:
AttributeError: 'ProfileManager' object has no attribute 'create_superuser'
But my issue is should BaseUserManager already have this method? I cannot find a why to inherit the create_superuser method.
My manager is:
class ProfileManager(BaseUserManager):
pass
And my model is:
class Profile(AbstractUser):
objects = ProfileManager()
Thanks for all the help in advance!
BaseUserManager class does not have create_superuser nor create_user, these methods are implemented in UserManager
Which is also documented in customizing authentication documentation
If your user model defines username, email, is_staff, is_active, is_superuser, last_login, and date_joined fields the same as Django’s default user, you can install Django’s UserManager; however, if your user model defines different fields, you’ll need to define a custom manager that extends BaseUserManager providing two additional methods:
create_user
create_superuser
So you don't need to set objects attribute nor override anything as AbstractUser sets objects attribute to
objects = UserManager()
No, BaseUserManager doesn't have that method, but UserManager does
from django.contrib.auth.models import UserManager
class ProfileManager(UserManager):
pass
