Thanks, it is very helpful and descriptive. I have a problem with the foreign keys. In my case I have to create two kind of users: Customers and Servicer Providers. How in this case can I pass a foreign key or a m2m key to a Service??

There’s a section for the admin.py ^here^, if you scroll lower. But I recommend you read the whole section.

Nice post. But I was hoping you’d be showing me how to migrate my existing table of auth.Users into a table for my User model!
