I got this error:
AttributeError: Manager isn't available; 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'users.User'

Worked when did this:

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
User = get_user_model()
user = User.objects.get(username="myname")
user.is_staff = True
user.is_admin = True
user.is_superuser = True
user.save()
