Attached is a simple model that extends auth.User and a sample JSON dump. Simply sync the database and load the JSON file. While the boolean values for User have their correct values, the ""is_active"" field for Employee will be true for both. If you remove the ""default=True"", both of them will be false, which isn't correct either."
