Error when adding a new user through the admin and using custom user model.

[jacobeharding@…]

I see a programming error when adding a user through the admin and using a custom user model. I believe this is caused in contrib/auth/forms.py on line 98 referring the auth.user model and not the custom user model.

This is a duplicate of #20086 and #21407, which were closed as invalid.

The user creation form is working ​as documented. It depends on the user model, and must be re-written for any custom model.
