Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for — this should be put into the Django tutorials or djangobook!

I think you\’ll have some issues with password management and perhaps a few other things if you don\’t inherit from \"django.contrib.auth.admin.UserAdmin\" instead of \"admin.ModelAdmin\". At least I did when I tried this.

I noticed this too. The trick is to put all your model admin classes in a separate file called admin.py and at the top of it have the autodiscover() as Martin points out. Then you won\’t get the AlreadyRegistered errors.

Small notice: You only get the \"AlreadyRegistered\" error if you use \"admin.autodiscover()\" which is disabled by default.
