Thank you! Super helpful. I used this to figure out how to put a signal into my website, and automatically create a "new" workqueue status each time a new ticket was created.

Im new to this. What's the importance of AbstractUser in using it in Django?

[dodokwak]

Thanks. What are the disadvantages of the extending built-in User model via AbstractUser? As far as I understand we need to adjust UserCreationForm, UserChangeForm (forms.py) and UserAdmin(admin.py) as well. (Your approach is supported by Will Vincent but Kenneth Love suggests either to use Profile (OneToOne) or create completely custom User model based on AbstractBaseUser)
