Description
As you can see here : https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/auth/forms.py#L89
We are using django.contrib.auth.models.User so it doesn't work when we register our Django custom User model with UserAdmin.
We should load the User from the settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL.
How to reproduce ?
Register your custom user with UserAdmin and try to add a user from the admin.
You will get an error because of this: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/auth/forms.py#L97

Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
This is actually a documented behavior: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-users-and-the-built-in-auth-forms
The
UserCreationForm"must be re-written for any custom user model".I'm therefore closing this as invalid but note that there is some discussion on ticket #19353 that relates to this issue.
Thanks.
