Hey Jorge,
I think you should extend the Abstract User instead of doing it the old
way, which is creating that OneToOne relationship with a custom model. So,
you'll end up with this:
class IndependentAgent(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
tipo_licencia = models.CharField(max_lenght=140)
class AgencyUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
agency = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='Agency')
This way you'll inherit all those awesome methods like setting the password
etc. and attributes, like is_admin, but you can also simply add your own
and dealing with this is much easier, than having to get the profile etc.
Cheers,
M
