How to create a form that make user is_active = False?

In my Django project, there are several types of users. User types are lead, manager, analyst. The Leads should change every user’s is_active attribute. I created a form and view for that. I have a users page and every user is listing here with a for loop.

What I want is lead can block a user with is_active = False method. But my form is does not work because I think I cannot reach the user. How can I solve it?

views.py

@user_passes_test(is_lead)

def users(request):

if request.method == 'POST':
    form = makeInactive(request.POST, user=request.user)

    if form.is_valid():
        data = form.cleaned_data
        profile = data.get("profile")
        profile.isUserActive = data.get("isUserActive")
        profile.save()
        # get User
        user = get_user_model().objects.get(id=profile.user_id)
        user.is_active = data.get("isUserActive")
        user.save()
else:
    form = makeInactive(user=request.user)

context = {
    'form': form
}
return render(request, 'user_list.html', context)

forms.py

class makeInactive(forms.ModelForm):
isUserActive = forms.BooleanField(label='',
                                  widget=forms.CheckboxInput(
                                      attrs={'onclick': 'this.form.submit();'}),
                                  required=False)

profile = forms.ModelChoiceField(
                                queryset=UserProfile.objects.none(),
                                empty_label="Select an user"
                                )

class Meta:
    model = UserProfile
    fields = ('isUserActive',)

def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
    super(makeInactive, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    userP = UserProfile.objects.get_or_create(username=user.username)

    self.fields['profile'].queryset = UserProfile.objects.filter(
        company=userP[0].company
    ).order_by('-first_name')

models.py

class UserProfile(AbstractUser):

    company = models.ForeignKey(CompanyProfile, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, unique=False)
    user_id = models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4(), editable=False, unique=True)
    username = models.CharField(max_length=500, unique=True)
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    password = models.CharField(max_length=250)
    email = models.EmailField(max_length=254)
    rank = models.ForeignKey(Rank, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, unique=False)
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_image', blank=True, null= True, default='profile.png')
    isUserActive = models.BooleanField(default=True)

Answer

You can use forms.ModelChoiceField(Dango Docs) in the MakeInactive form. Also instead forms.ModelForm use forms.Form.

Then the UserProfile with rank lead can select a UserProfile with rank manager or analyst and set it inactive.

You can add the current user to MakeInactive form and filter the UserProfile in the __init__ method.

You cat try to use the below code:

forms.py:

class MakeInactive(forms.Form):
    isUserActive = forms.BooleanField(
        label='',
        widget=forms.CheckboxInput(
        attrs={'onclick': 'this.form.submit();'})
    )
    profile = forms.ModelChoiceField(
        queryset=UserProfile.objects.none(),
        empty_label="Select an user")

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        user = kwargs.pop('user', None)
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        if user:
            userP = UserProfile.objects.get_or_create(username=user.username)
           
            self.fields['profile'].queryset = UserProfile.objects.filter(
                rank_id__in=["manager", "analyst"],
                company=userP[0].company
            ).order_by('-first_name')

views.py:

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

@user_passes_test(is_lead)
def users(request):

    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = makeInactive(request.POST, user=request.user)

        if form.is_valid():
            data = form.cleaned_data
            profile = data.get("profile")
            profile.isUserActive = data.get("isUserActive")
            profile.save()
            # get User
            user = get_user_model().objects.get(id=profile.user_id)
            user.is_active = data.get("isUserActive")
            user.save()
    else:
        form = makeInactive(user=request.user)

    context = {
        'form': form
    }
    return render(request, 'user_list.html', context)
