Django AbstractUser not working properly

I am trying to inherit from AbstractUSer my models.py looks like:

class MyUser(AbstractUser):        
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username',]

MyUser._meta.get_field_by_name('email')[0]._unique=True

now by declaring email as unique field and username as a required field my superuser is being created successfully and also is being authenticated properly but I am having a problem while creating any other user as if I am creating any user through my admin page its not being authenticated.It always returns

None

My admin.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from credilet.models import *

admin.site.register(MyUser)

What I am thinking is that the create_user is not being called properly as if I see in my admin page the password is not hashed so that means the create_user is not being called properly.Somebody please help through it or even if you have a proper documentation on abstractuser

not abstractbaseuser

so please refer that to me in the solutions.

Thanks

I think you should add UserAdmin into admin.py for Myuser if you does not add UserAdmin , password can't be hashed with django:

from django.contrib import admin
from credilet.models import *
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin

admin.site.register(MyUser, UserAdmin) # add UserAdmin

If you want to change the authentication system you have to use AbstractBaseUser, look at this full example.

AbstractUser is ok to Extend Django’s default User.
