title: Django. How to add an extra field in User model and have it displayed in the admin interface
body: <p>I'm learning Django and need some help. </p>
  
  <p>I need to include an extra boolean field in my User Model (auth_user table in the db I believe) and have it be displayed in the admin interface when managing users, like the staff status field in this image...</p>
  
  <p><em>127:0.0.1:8000/admin/user</em> : </p>

  <p>and...</p>
  
  <p><em>127.0.0.1:8000/admin/auth/user/2/change/</em> : </p>

  <p>I'm unsure on how to approach this. I understand I'll have to extend the AbstractUser model and then perhaps manually add the field into the db, but then how do I update the new field for the <em>view, form and templates</em> for the admin interface? Will I have to rewrite the django admin source code for all of these or is there an simpler way?</p>
