Please check if we need more fields or if we have to change some fields. File: users/models.py

I don't how to store the login password, so I found out that django provides User class which has the basic details like: first_name, last_name, (no middle name), email, date_joined, username, password, is_staff (can access admin site or not), is_active (left the company or not), is_superuser (is the developer of this portal or not) and last_login.

Cool stuff! Plus I saw that we should not write a sub class for this class as this class is already a concrete class and there are still some bugs that will appear if we sub class it. But, we can use it as a one-to-one field in a wrapper class.

Any thoughts ?
