Hello All,

I am currently extending the existing User model to store additional information. So, basically I have:

# models.py

class Person(models.Model):

    user = models.OneToOneField(User, verbose_name=_('User'))

    zipcode = models.CharField(_('Zip Code'), max_length=9, blank=True, null=True)

    street = models.CharField(_('Address'), max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    ...

#admin.py

class PersonAdmin(admin.StackedInline):

    model = Person

    ...

class UserAdmin(UserAdmin):

    inlines = (PersonAdmin, )

    ...

admin.site.unregister(User)

admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)   

The problem is that my system should be able to register a new person, but this person may not need an account on the system (I just need to have his/her information). Right now, I can not create a person without an account. Besides that, first_name and last_name fields are not in the person class. 

I am wondering what is the best solution for my case. Probably, I will need to move the first_name and last_name fields to the Person class, and to do that, I will have to create custom users, is that right? 

If that is the case, may I just copy and paste the lines shown here (https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/auth/models.py) and remove the lines about first_name and last_name? 

Well, any help will be appreciated.
