1Does this answer your question? [Extending the User model with custom fields in Django](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44109/extending-the-user-model-with-custom-fields-in-django) – Fourier Mar 18 '20 at 10:52

Browsing the doc before and / or doing a search before asking questions is most often a good idea... – bruno desthuilliers Mar 18 '20 at 11:13

For that you have to extend AbstractUser as below and add extra field as per your requirements...
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
class User(AbstractUser):
# Add your extra field here
my_custom_field = models.CharField(max_length=2)
In this example my_custom_field would be your custom field . You have a number of options, BooleanField (true/fales), IntField ... etc) and you can add as many (within reason, as you like).
And suppose this User model is in app named app_1 then you have to set AUTH_USER_MODEL in settings.py as below...
settings.py
AUTH_USER_MODEL = "app_1.User"
Run makemigrations and migrate commmand because we changed in model.
