What is the model attached to django UserCreationForm()

I have read the official documentation for UserCreationForm(). I am trying to access the users I have created within other models. What model do I call to access the users I created within the UserCreationForm()? In short is their a default authentication model I can call to access the user model?

What model do I call to access the users I created within the UserCreationForm()?

As we can see in the source code [GitHub], it uses the User model:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# …

class UserCreationForm(forms.ModelForm):

    # …

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ("username",)
        field_classes = {'username': UsernameField}

    # …

You thus can import this model with:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

The documentation on the User specifies the fields and methods defined on this model.
