Add field to existing users

[Sergio Brero]

Hi all, i'd like to add a boolean field to existing users to discrimine between users that have this flag true and false and show them different prices.

Can this be achieved without changing the AUTH_USER_MODEL?

Where is django instructed to use customer.abstract_models.AbstractUser as user base model?

Hope for a response

Thank you - kind regards - sergio brero

There are couple of ways to do this, I hope this tutorial might help you https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2016/07/22/how-to-extend-django-user-model.html I have implemented this with AbstractModel like this https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2016/07/22/how-to-extend-django-user-model.html#a-nameabstractuseraextending-user-model-using-a-custom-model-extending-abstractuser

Thanks for your reply Shine Mon SS.

By the way, i changed my approach and solved the problem using a flat django auth.Group
