Django UserCreationForm Error: ModelForm has no model class specified

I'm trying to create a page for is_staff folks can create users. The code is below.

views.py

@login_required
def create_new_user(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = CreateUserForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('jobs:new-user'))
    else:
        form = CreateUserForm()
        return render(request, 'jobs/create_user.html', {'form': form})

forms.py

from django import forms
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

class CreateUserForm(UserCreationForm):
    class Meta:
        model: User
        fields = ['username', 'password1', 'password2']

error output

This is the error I get when I try to access the account creation page.

Traceback:

Exception Type: ValueError at /create_user/
Exception Value: ModelForm has no model class specified.

Any ideas? As always, THANK YOU.

You need to set model equal to User like model = User

class CreateUserForm(UserCreationForm):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['username', 'password1', 'password2']
