✅

You have to inherit from AbstractBaseUser not from AbstractUser and add Manager Class to it

from django.contrib.auth.base_user import AbstractBaseUser
from django.contrib.auth.models import PermissionsMixin


class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
    email = models.EmailField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    # Add other fields here

    objects = UserManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = []



class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
    
    def _create_user(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
        user = self.model(email=self.normalize_email(email), **extra_fields)
        user.set_password(password)        
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

    def create_user(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
        return self._create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)

    def create_superuser(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_staff', True)
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser', True)
        return self._create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)

Don’t forget

python manage.py makemigrations

python manage.py migrate

I recommend you to take a look at the docs
