Answer 1

Maybe your admin.py code is like this

admin.py

admin.site.register(User)

If you extended Django's basic users,

admin.py

from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin

class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
    model = User

    fieldsets = UserAdmin.fieldsets + (
        (None, {'fields': ('field1', 'field2',...)}),
    )


admin.site.register(User, MyUserAdmin)
