Can not use UserAdmin fildsets with cutom user model - django

Question

I tried to customize Django User,which worked fine but I lost things like user_permissions.
I don't have user permissions window from which I can give permissions like "can add Product,Can delete cart" etc.
I tried this:
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
fieldsets = UserAdmin.fieldsets + ('Custom fields set', {'fields': ('email', 'staff')}),
and
UserAdmin.fieldsets += ('Custom fields set', {'fields': ('email', 'staff')}),
but these didn't worked for me.
If I try to add 'user_permissions' to fieldsets I get error
" Unknown field 'user_permissions' specified'".
Do I need to define user_permissions fields?
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self,email,password=None,is_active=True,is_staff=False,is_admin=False):
if not email:
raise ValueError("Users must have email")
if not password:
raise ValueError("Users must have password")
user_obj = self.model(
email = self.normalize_email(email)
)
user_obj.staff = is_staff
user_obj.admin = is_admin
user_obj.active = is_active
user_obj.set_password(password) #inbuild hashing
user_obj.save(using = self._db)
return user_obj
def create_staffuser(self,email,password=None):
user = self.create_user(email,password=password,is_staff=True)
return user
def create_superuser(self,email,password=None):
user = self.create_user(email,password=password,is_staff=True,is_admin=True)
return user
class User(AbstractBaseUser):
email = models.EmailField(unique=True,max_length=255)
# full_name= models.CharField(max_length=100)
active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
timestamp= models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
# confirmed= models.BooleanField(default=False) #confirmed email?
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = []
objects = UserManager()
def __str__(self):
return self.email
def get_full_name(self):
return self.email
def has_perm(self,perm,obj=None):
return True
def has_module_perms(self,app_label):
return True
This is how my admin looks currently.

You have to use PermissionsMixin class while creating the custom user model
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
# your fields
