allowing a user to access adminpanel?

please help to solve the problem.

I created a form to register users. I need the user to have access after registration adminpanel. for this I have tried to override the value of the field is_staff:

class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):   
    is_staff = forms.CharField(
        default=True,
        widget=forms.HiddenInput(),
    )   

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = (  
            'username',   
            'email',    
            'password1', 
            'password2',
            'is_staff',
        )

views:

def registration(request):
    """
    ajax refistration procedure
    """ 
    result = False      

    form = RegistrationForm()

    if request.method == 'POST' and request.is_ajax():
        form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)   
        if form.is_valid():
            try:
                new_user = form.save()
            except:
                pass
            else:
                result = True

    data = {
        'result': result,       
    }

    return HttpResponse(json.dumps(data), content_type='application/json')

the problem is that the browser displays the following error message:

TypeError at /
__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'default' Request Method: GET Request URL:     Django Version:    1.6.8
Exception Type: TypeError Exception Value:

The error you're getting means the keyword argument default=True is incorrect when creating the is_staff field.

You should be using initial=True instead to specify an initial value.

Furthermore, you are using a forms.CharField for the is_staff field, which presumably should be a boolean (so forms.BooleanField). After that it'll be displayed as a tick box and not as a field for text characters.
