For creating a custom user model define in the global configuration the app and name of it::
# settings.py
...
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'myapp.CustomUser'
...
Extend the AbstractUser class when it is intended to keep most of the original User model features::
# models.py
...
class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
custom_field = models.ForeignKey('OtherModel')
objects = UserManager()
...
In the admin the normal User model needs to be unregistered, while the custom one needs to be registered:
# admin.py
...
admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(CustomUser)
...
