python - django user model - when do i need it? -

I have a sensible problem:

I want to create a user profile for my page, which That many characteristics but since I am new to the user model of the athens user, I do not know if I can increase that model with the new features that I set for the user profile. Like address, age, ...

If not, why is the user model? Is it for auth purposes only? How do I handle and differentiate these two user models?

Sample case:
The user wants to log in, I check permission with auth user model and set some relation between the user model of DJ and mine? I'm just confused here

I will try to explain in the perspective of pre-django 1.5

The Diego's athletic model provides a set of "convenience" methods such as login, logout, password reset, etc. for you that you work without any work. This is a very common scenario in order to be more field - so one method will be to create a user productual model, which is either derived from from the django auth user model, or OneToOne Relationships on the same way, you do not need to re-implement some of the features already implemented. In addition, such packages contain groups and permissions models that add a full layer of functionality in case of user permissions.

Example: Import django.contrib.auth.models from

  User class MyCustomProfile (user): # Delete all properties of the default model # Model model # Additional models Import django.contrib.auth.models user class MyCustomProfile (models.Model) from   
 or  
 : user = models.OneToOneField (user) # Additional model here   
 In this way, you can use all the features and build on it.  
 It has changed a bit in the demo -1.5, which gives custom fields to users, a  UserProfile  model at the top of the already existing  user  Creates  Model
