what does the two table Users and auth_user in Django are for?

Question

I know the functionality of User model in Django. but when I syncdb, I see of the many auth_* tables created, there is one auth_user. There is yet another User table. There are differences between them in the columns. I am attaching them here. when I add a new User it gets stored in auth_user table, but the User table is empty. so what is this User table for (why is it created if it empty) and where it is useful. why is it not populated?

Answer 1

The auth_user table keeps track of registered users for Django's included auth system.

The Users table is not created by Django. It must be created by a third-party Django app you are using, or it is created through some other process entirely.
