.. admonition:: Reusable apps and ``AUTH_USER_MODEL``

   Reusable apps shouldn't implement a custom user model. A project may use
   many apps, and two reusable apps that implemented a custom user model
   couldn't be used together. If you need to store per user information in your
   app, use a :class:`~django.db.models.ForeignKey` or
   :class:`~django.db.models.OneToOneField` to ``settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL``
   as described below.
