[FIXED] Django multiple user types migration error

Issue

I'm trying to create a multiple user types using Django Abstract User but whenever I try to migrate the changes it gives me an error. As I'm still new to Django, I don't understand that it means

Here is my models code:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
   is_customer = models.BooleanField(default = False)
   is_seller = models.BooleanField(default = False)
   name = models.CharField(max_length = 60)

And whenever I try to migrate this model I get this error:

ERRORS: Accounts.CustomUser.groups: (fields.E304) Reverse accessor for 'Accounts.CustomUser.groups' clashes with reverse accessor for 'auth.User.groups'. HINT: Add or change a related_name argument to the definition for 'Accounts.CustomUser.groups' or 'auth.User.groups'. Accounts.CustomUser.user_permissions: (fields.E304) Reverse accessor for 'Accounts.CustomUser.user_permissions' clashes with reverse accessor for 'auth.User.user_permissions'. HINT: Add or change a related_name argument to the definition for 'Accounts.CustomUser.user_permissions' or 'auth.User.user_permissions'. auth.User.groups: (fields.E304) Reverse accessor for 'auth.User.groups' clashes with reverse accessor for 'Accounts.CustomUser.groups'.

HINT: Add or change a related_name argument to the definition for 'auth.User.user_permissions' or 'Accounts.CustomUser.user_permissions'.

Solution

Add this to your settings.py

AUTH_USER_MODEL = "Accounts.CustomUser"

In General :

AUTH_USER_MODEL = "YourAppName.YourClassName"
