Summary: createsuperuser bug → createsuperuser fails when using USERNAME_FIELD

This appears to be a usage mistake. You need to use a custom manager with your user model that defines ​create_superuser() with appropriate parameters (corresponding to your USERNAME_FIELD.

For an example of how this works, you can look at Django's ​test for createsuperuser which uses ​a custom user that defines REQUIRED_FIELDS.

The only missing column from the custom UserModel is username, the rest is the same with the original UserModel.

Thank you for pointing out a usage issue.
