Hi, I got it working at a basic level by just registering against UserAdmin.
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin > admin.site.register(Customer, UserAdmin) For custom fields, I just needed to add them to fieldsets. However, even though I could view/edit users, adding new Users failed - the forms seemed to be looking specifically for auth_user. Apparently this is something that could be made easier? https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19353 http://stackoverflow.com/a/17496836/139137 Is that something that could be in 1.6?
