Setting for add to second user model in Django

I want to add second user model, not to customize built-in model. (For example, if the built-in model is "Customer", "Designer" is another model which I would make.)

It's because to allow signup, product publishing of "Designer" themselves.

I've searched how to write second user model, there was to add a second user model through inherits a second user model, but not explained for settings.py.

Should I add additional code such asAUTH_USER_MODEL = models.Designer?

You can't have two user models in Django.

Use the built-in User model and create "profile" models with OneToOne relation to the User:

class Customer(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    ...

class Designer(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    ...

In this case you can create any number of profile models and access to them from the User instance will be as easy as:

customer = request.user.customer
designer = request.user.designer
