### What specific section or headline is this issue about?
Django Tutorial Part 8: User authentication and permissions
### What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
Example for the locallibrary application is very good. It would be very helpful for beginners like me if we can learn how to create custom user model as part of Django Tutorial Part 3: Using models given that it is highly recommend to create custom user models when a project gets started. Was only informed that it is not good practice to use the default User model at part 8 of the tutorial.
Hope you can accommodate for future learners. Thank you for providing such good material.
### What did you expect to see?
