Django adds auth in between path leading to TemplateNotFound

Using Django Forms & APIs
1

Hi, pretty new to Django. Django adds auth to my path and that leads to TemplateNotFound issue. My code piece is as below but I am unable to move forward.

* django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader : C:\eComm\advanced_django\Practice_1\school\users\templates\auth\user_list.html (Source does not exist)

Whereas the correct path is : \users\templates\user_list.html

From views.py :

class UserListView(ListView):
    model = User
    queryset = User.objects.all()

From urls.py
urlpatterns = [path("user_list/", UserListView.as_view(), name="user_list"),]

Error : 
  File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\django\template\loader.py", line 47, in select_template
    raise TemplateDoesNotExist(', '.join(template_name_list), chain=chain)
django.template.exceptions.TemplateDoesNotExist: auth/user_list.html

Is that the complete error message, or is there more to that message prior to that?

What is the name of the app in which this view exists?

What does your TEMPLATES settings look like?

Complete error messages is as below.

Name of the app is “users” and same is set in the urls.py app_name

TEMPLATES : from the main application’s settings.py : ‘DIRS’: [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ‘users’)],

This is the call trace as below. I even provided the URL in main apps urls.py. Still face the same issue. I am unable to understand where this “auth” gets injected in the path. Pardon me as I just am trying to learn Django.

C:\eComm\advanced_django\Practice_1\school\users\auth\user_list.html <== Where does “auth” come from?
