-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
In the docs for customising the Auth User model it does not fully outline
the link between the UserCreationForm and the UserAdmin - specifically the
fact that the UserAdmin's `add_fieldsets` will be used rather than the
`fields` attribute in the `Meta` for the custom `UserCreationForm`.
At the end of this section
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-
users-and-the-built-in-auth-forms) it specifies that one can simply
override the `fields` in the `Meta` of one's `UserCreationForm`. However,
as the UserAdmin uses a custom `get_fieldsets` method which uses its
`add_fieldsets` attribute instead, overriding `fields` does nothing.
