If you're starting a brand new Django project and want to modify the user model, try this - this is tricky in the sense that it has the been done step-by-step without intervention in-between.
In this case, we're adding a role and date-of-birth (dob) to the user model which will be changed to application_user instead of the default auth_user in the database's table name.

mkdir user-roles
cd user-roles
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

django-admin startproject myPersonalProject
cd myPersonalProject

# pharmacy_group, created = Group.objects.get_or_create(name='Pharmacy')

echo "
from .models import User
admin.site.register([User])

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
code application/models.py
Uncomment those #s from application/models.py above because groups are created post table creations.
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
