createsuperuser is not working with custom user model

Time:12-03

I know this question is a repeat (I've looked at similar posts here and here although the I still couldn't anywhere with the solutions. I've created a custom user model for my application but when I create a superuser I can't seem to sign in on the admin panel. What have I done wrong?

user model

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser, BaseUserManager


class UserAccountManager(BaseUserManager):

    def create_user(self, email, username, password=None):
        if not email:
            raise ValueError('Users must provide an email to create an account')
        if not username:
            raise ValueError('Users must provide a username to create an account')
        
        user = self.model(
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
            username=username
        )

        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user


    def create_superuser(self, email, username, password):
        
        user = self.create_user(
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
            username=username,
            password=password
        )
        user.is_admin = True
        user.is_staff = True
        user.is_superuser = True
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user



class UserAccount(AbstractBaseUser):
    email               = models.EmailField(verbose_name='email', max_length=60, unique=True)
    username            = models.CharField(max_length=30, unique=True)
    date_joined         = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='date joined', auto_now_add=True)
    last_login          = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='last_login', auto_now_add=True)
    is_admin            = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    is_active           = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_superuser        = models.BooleanField(default=False)

CodePudding user response:

Your create_superuser does not have user.is_active = True and you is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False) is also missing from your model, and you need to have PermissionsMixin if you are using AbstractBaseUser

Below is your working model and UserAccountManager, check it:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser, BaseUserManager, PermissionsMixin

class UserAccountManager(BaseUserManager):

    def create_user(self, email, username, password=None):
        if not email:
            raise ValueError('Users must provide an email to create an account')
        if not username:
            raise ValueError('Users must provide a username to create an account')

        user = self.model(
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
            username=username
        )

        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, email, username, password):

        user = self.create_user(
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
            username=username,
            password=password
        )
        user.is_admin = True
        user.is_staff = True
        user.is_superuser = True
        user.is_active = True
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user


class UserAccount(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
    email = models.EmailField(verbose_name='email', max_length=60, unique=True)
    username = models.CharField(max_length=30, unique=True)
    date_joined = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='date joined', auto_now_add=True)
    last_login = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='last_login', auto_now_add=True)
    is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username']

    objects = UserAccountManager()

    def __str__(self):
        return f'email: {self.email}\nusername: {self.username}'

    def has_perm(self, perm, obj=None):
        return self.is_admin

    def has_module_perm(self, app_label):
        return True
