Adding required email field to django when creating users with admin

Question

When creating/adding a user with Django admin; how can this be customized?

For example, currently, the username and password are prompted for. However, I'd like to customize this to also have other required fields, such as 'email'?

The Django tutorial isn't clear on admin user auth customization?

Answer 1

1. Place this in your models.py.

   from django.contrib.auth.models import User
   User._meta.get_field('email').blank = False
   

2. Run makemigrations.

3. Run migrate.
