It’s not recommended to modify django’s user model because it complicates things. Instead, you can add a user profile as documented here.

If you want the profile to show up in the admin side, you can attach the profile as an inline and force it by unregistering the user and then re-registering it. Here’s how I do it:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from reversion.admin import VersionAdmin
from profiles.models import Profile
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin

class ProfileInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = Profile
    fk_name = 'user'
    extra = 0
    max_num = 1
    fieldsets = [
        ('Company', {'fields': ['company', 'office']}),
        ('User Information', {'fields': ['role', 'gender', 'phone', 'mobile', 'fax', 'street', 'street2', 'city', 'state', 'zip']}),
        ('Site Information', {'fields': ['sites']}),
    ]

class NewUserAdmin(VersionAdmin):
    inlines = [ProfileInline, ]

admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, NewUserAdmin)
