AUTH_USER_MODEL improperly configured

[Sandesh Naroju]

I am getting the following error as soon as I add 'RolePermissionsUserAdminMixin' to my custom user model which is from AbstractBaseUser. I am trying to add Roles and Permissions to django Admin. I have set
ROLEPERMISSIONS_REGISTER_ADMIN = True

Traceback (most recent call last):

@filipeximenes look at this issue please

Hi @sandeshnaroju, sorry for the delay. Hope you have fixed the issue by now but this probably caused by some other problem in your code not django-role-permissions directly. Please research the error message in the internet. I'll close this for now please open the issue again if you still think the problem is with this library.
