How to combine social auth/oauth with django custom user model

Question

I have a custom user model that is based on AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin and I would love to use a package such as django-allauth and/or social-auth-app-django. I have done some research but did not find any tutorials or examples. Can somebody recommend anything?

You need to set the User model for the social auth package in your settings.py. For example:

SOCIAL_AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'app.YourCustomUser'
