I have created a custom user model (users_user) which works for registering new users (creating new custom user records) and logging in. But if I go to the Admin page, and try to delete a user record from there, it seems to be trying to delete records from the default user model (auth_user). I get the error:
IntegrityError at /admin/users/user/
insert or update on table "django_admin_log" violates foreign key constraint "django_admin_log_user_id_c564eba6_fk_auth_user_id"
DETAIL: Key (user_id)=(3) is not present in table "auth_user".
Is there a way I can keep the standard Django Administration pages (screenshot below), but reference my custom user model instead of the standard auth_user model?
