I cannot seem to get Groups to work with the Custom User Model. In the admin panel attached is the view. Its missing the box on the left with the assignment of adding and remove groups. I’ve tried checking and even unregistered and reregistered in the admin.py view. Codes below for my custom user class and admin. Code works for normal user logging in etc and for admin but i want the groups assignment to work which is just not working . Any help much apprecaited as i seem to be hitting a wall

# The forms to add and change user instances
form = UserAdminChangeForm

# These override the definitions on the base UserAdmin
# that reference specific fields on auth.User.

# overrides get_fieldsets to use this attribute when creating a user.
