how to create custom flag like is_staff and is_anonymous in django

There are some Boolean fields in Django's User Model, for example is_staff, is_anonymous etc.

How can I create my own Boolean field, for example is_student and add it into Django's User model?

You can create custom user model that is derived from AbstractUser.

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class Student(AbstractUser):
    is_student = models.BooleanField(default=False)

And in settings.py, you need to set this user model as the AuthUser model. For example, if the Student model is defined in the schools app, then

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'schools.Student'
