Hi,

There are numerous ways to achieve what you're asking for, I've been using following two:

You can (and if this a new project, should) create custom user, regardless of which one approaches you use.

1) For a custom manager add user type field to a custom user model which says is user a manager or ordinary user. And then add foreign key (or many to many if user can have multiple managers) to custom user model to self.

2)  Have so called "profile", a model with one to one relation to user model where you put all the same attributes as above.

Admin can work with both approaches, it's up to you to decide which one approach suits for you.
