Maybe you just need to extend de model user

You can substitute the user model entirely as described in doc. Here is an example:

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'myapp.MyUser'

to your settings.py, and add following to your model:

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class MyUser(AbstractUser):
    another_object = models.ForeignKey(OtherModel..

just make a new moel with a user foreign key 

class Post (models.Model):
   title = models.CharField(max_length=80)
   slug= models.SlugField(unique=True)
   content = models.TextField()
   user_creator = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True)

there you can use as primary key the id of the post, or the slug (unique), and it can be linked to a user, if you need one to one relationship see this or many to many relationship see this
