Django Creating Super User Error: Attributeerror: 'profilemanager' Object Has No Attribute 'create_superuser'

Hi I am trying to create a superuser, however, after I added my own ProfileManager I get the error: AttributeError: 'ProfileManager' object has no attribute 'create_superuser' But

Solution 1:

BaseUserManager class does not have create_superuser nor create_user, these methods are implemented in UserManager

Which is also documented in customizing authentication documentation

If your user model defines username, email, is_staff, is_active, is_superuser, last_login, and date_joined fields the same as Django’s default user, you can install Django’s UserManager; however, if your user model defines different fields, you’ll need to define a custom manager that extends BaseUserManager providing two additional methods:

• create_user

• create_superuser

So you don't need to set objects attribute nor override anything as AbstractUser sets objects attribute to

objects = UserManager()

Solution 2:

No, BaseUserManager doesn't have that method, but UserManager does

from django.contrib.auth.models import UserManager


classProfileManager(UserManager):
    pass
