 As for Solution 2a.
 
+== Solution 2d: `MYAPP_USER_MODEL` setting ==
+
+Similar to solution 2a, but instead of a single global `USER_MODEL` setting, each app has its own `USER_MODEL` setting.
+
+=== Implementation ===
+
+`django.contrib.admin` can introduce an `ADMIN_USER_MODEL` setting which defaults to `None`.
+
+{{{
+user = models.ForeignKey(settings.ADMIN_USER_MODEL or settings.USER_MODEL)
+}}}
+
+=== Advantages ===
+
+same as solution 2a, but
+
+ * support multiple user models
+
+=== Problems ===
+
+same as solution 2a.

 == Solution 3: Leverage App Refactor ==
