class models.CustomUserManager

create_user(*username_field*, password=None, **other_fields)

The prototype of create_user() should accept the username field, plus all required fields as arguments. For example, if your user model uses email as the username field, and has date_of_birth as a required field, then create_user should be defined as:

1 2 3

def create_user(self, email, date_of_birth, password=None):     # create user here     ...

create_superuser(*username_field*, password, **other_fields)

The prototype of create_superuser() should accept the username field, plus all required fields as arguments. For example, if your user model uses email as the username field, and has date_of_birth as a required field, then create_superuser should be defined as:

1 2 3

def create_superuser(self, email, date_of_birth, password):     # create superuser here     ...

Unlike create_user(), create_superuser() must require the caller to provide a password.
