User Model Change

[jazwu]

Description

Since I am implementing the reset password view which requires authentication, I discovered that our user model is incomplete according to the Django User Model tutorial, which hinders the implementation of authentication-related views such as a reset password view. Therefore, I made some modifications to models.py:

• modified User: added fields like is_active, is_superuser, and is_staff

After researching Django authentication system views tutorial, I think using email as unique identifier instead of username would make life easier. In this way, we don't need to add "forgot the username" on the login page.

• modified CustomUserManager: set email and password as credentials
• modified User: set email as unique identifier and make username as a required field

Additionally,

• capitalized the names of the current model classes to align with Django's standard
• registered User model in admin.py so that we can deal with Users through /admin page
