django admin - You don't have permission to edit anything
Answering my question here. So the problem was, PermissionsMixin. What I thought was that PermissionsMixin will handle all the permssion related things. But even though I added the PermissionsMixin to the new user Model, I had to explicitly make the tell django that the superuser is indeed superuser by adding is_superuser
or by has_perm
.
So I changed my function inside the User manager to
def create_superuser(self, email, first_name, last_name, username, date_of_birth, password, **kwargs):
user = self.create_user(
email,
first_name=first_name,
last_name=last_name,
username=username,
date_of_birth=date_of_birth,
password=password,
is_superuser=True,
**kwargs
)
Hope this will help someone like me!
