User Model fields not showing in Django Admin Panel

I have a basic model that extends the User model:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class Promotion (models.Model):
    User = models.ForeignKey(User)
    Rating = models.ForeignKey(Rating)
    Date_Effective = models.DateField()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.Rating.Rank.Short_Rank + ' ' + self.User.last_name + ' (' + str(self.Date_Effective) + ')'

in my Admin.py, i have the models showing:

admin.site.register(models.Promotion)

when loading a promotion, the Short_Rank field and the Date_Effective fields show perfectly, but the User.last_name does not.

enter image description here

This is consistent with the rest of the models, and I am believing that the User model itself is not being attacked by the query in the admin panel. How do I get the name fields in the User model showing in the model page of the Admin panel? Thanks.

You need to have one to one relation when you want to extend the auth user. Please refer to this discussion .

Here is how you can change it and I expect it should work for you:

class Promotion (models.Model):
   User = models.OneToOneField(User)
   Rating = models.ForeignKey(Rating)
   Date_Effective = models.DateField()
