I tried to register the user, and I want to configure the admin site to have a permission field, groups field, etc. (Like in the picture)  
but I have these errors like result:  
**Errors** :

Can you help me, where is my mistake?

**Post date:** [December 6, 2022, 8:28pm UTC](https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/problem-with-register-the-user-in-admin/17473/2 "2022-12-06T20:28:46Z")

I can see a couple things so far:

- You have your `email` field in both the `None` and `Personal info` fieldsets.

- You are defining AppBaserUser as a class inheriting from UserAdmin, this means that everything defined in UserAdmin is going to apply to AppBaserUser unless you override it. That means that the parent class definitions for `add_fieldsets`, `list_display`, `search_field`, and `ordering` would also apply - causing a problem because you don’t have fields named `username`, `first_name` or `last_name` in your user model.

I would suggest that you don’t inherit from `UserAdmin`, inherit from `BaseUserAdmin`. (See [the full example](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/auth/customizing/#a-full-example))

Some other side notes and recommendations -

> [@reniboyanova](#):
>
> `profile_full_name = AppStaffProfile.objects.get(pk=self.pk).get_full_name`

You don’t need to write this as a query. Since AppStaffProfile has a one-to-one relationship with AppBaseUser, the related profile to a user (`self` in this case), you can access the `get_full_name` property directly as `self.appstaffprofile.get_full_name`. (You have access to the profile directly from any instance of AppBaseUser through the `appstaffprofile` related name.)

> [@reniboyanova](#):
>
> ```auto
> def __str__ (self):
> if self.get_full_name_with_profile:
> return self.get_full_name_with_profile
> f'{self.email}'
> 
> ```

This is an extraneous condition in this function. Since `get_full_name_with_profile` will already return `self.email` if there is no `profile_full_name`, the `if` statement in _this_ function will never be False.

> [@reniboyanova](#):
>
> ```auto
> def cleaned_data_fist_name(self):
> return self.cleaned_data['first_name']
>  
> def cleaned_data_last_name(self):
> return self.cleaned_data['last_name']
>  
> def cleaned_data_position(self):
> return self.cleaned_data['position']
> 
> ```

I’m not seeing where these are being used or why they might be defined. You might want to remove them to remove unnecessary “code clutter”.

Ok, but our teacher showed us like this and I am really confused.  
I do it like this and again when I click on some of the users in admin I have this error:

**When I want to add**

# FieldError at /admin/accounts/appbaseuser/add/

Unknown field(s) (firs\_name, last\_name, is\_active, position, date\_joined) specified for AppBaseUser. Check fields/fieldsets/exclude attributes of class AppBaseUserAdmin

**And when I click in the existing one:**

 ![erre](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/djangoproject/original/2X/0/0bb0301eef9fc43212aa5bfabc1d007fb89030f7.png)

**this is how I do it now, I really can’t understand how to give permission in this situation. I don’t want to change users from the scratch. My code now:**

```auto

@admin.register(UserModel)
class AppBaseUserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    add_form= RegistrationAppUserForm

    fieldsets = (
        (
        (
            'Permissions',
            {
                'fields': (
                    'is_active',
                    'is_staff',
                    'is_superuser',
                    'groups',
                    'user_permissions',
                ),
            },
        ),
        (
            'Personal info',
            {
                'fields': (
                    'firs_name',
                    'last_name',
                    'position',

                ),
            },
        ),
        (
            'Important dates',
            {
                'fields': (
                    'last_login',
                    'date_joined',
                ),
            },
        ),
    ))

You are now inheriting from `ModelAdmin`, which means you need to specify all the attributes needed by an admin class, such as `fields`.

Review the docs at [The Django admin site | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/contrib/admin/#modeladmin-options) to see what you need to do and all the options available to define a ModelAdmin class.

Yes, I saw this, but I don’t know how to overwrite the Permission.  
I will try everything 🙂

The errors you are seeing _here_ have nothing to with permissions. You should get your basic admin class working first.

Ok, that doesn’t match the snippet you posted at [Problem with register the User in admin - #3 by reniboyanova](https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/problem-with-register-the-user-in-admin/17473/3) earlier.

So what is the specific issue for which you are requesting assistance here? I’m starting to get lost with the different versions of things you are posting, so I’d suggest you copy/pasting the exact code for which you currently have questions, along with the current error messages that you’re needing help with.

(Also, please do not post screen images of code. Always copy/paste the code itself into your posts.)
