Can not save Django Proxy user model from Admin - django

Question

I am getting the following error message when I save the user object. I have searched on the internet for the error message, but I can not find any help. It maybe somthing very obvious that I am missing, but I am not able to find any help available.
Can someone take a look and let me know what the error here is?
File admin.py
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
class UserAdmin(UserAdmin):
list_display = ('username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name',
'is_active', roles, login)
list_filter = ('groups',)
def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
queryset = MyUser.objects.filter(id=obj.id)
if obj.is_active:
logger.info('User is marked active')
elif not obj.is_active:
logger.info('User is marked inactive')
obj.save()
def add_view(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.inlines = []
return super(UserAdmin, self).add_view(*args, **kwargs)
def change_view(self, request, object_id, form_url='', extra_context=None):
self.inlines = (ProfileInline,)
return super(UserAdmin, self).change_view(request, object_id, form_url, extra_context)
File models.py
class MyUser(User, URLGenerator):
objects = models.Manager() # The default manager.
safe = SafeUserManager()
class Meta:
proxy = True
ordering = ['username']
def __unicode__(self):
return self.get_full_name()
The ERROR I'm getting:

AttributeError: 'Manager' object has no attribute 'normalize_email'

Answer 1

Your User object doesn't have the manager method normalize_email. Try changing your user's manager to
objects = BaseUserManager()
which you can import in django.contrib.auth.base_user
