I’m using [django-groups-manager.](https://github.com/vittoriozamboni/django-groups-manager)

[Screenshot](https://i.ibb.co/zfHV1cg/group.jpg)

I’m already creating my group during registration. Then I make a group selection when adding members on the member insertion page. However, the entire group list appears. But I just want to see the group of person’s who add the user. So, it can include the added user in its own group and cannot access other groups. How can I do it?

**forms.py**

```
class CalisanForm(forms.ModelForm):
member = forms.CharField(max_length=100, label='Çalışan Adı')
CHOICES = [( group.name, group.name ) for group in Group.objects.filter()]
new_group_name = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CHOICES,widget = forms.widgets.RadioSelect())

class Meta:
    model = User
    fields = [
        
        'member',
        'new_group_name',
    ]

```

**views.py**

```
def calisan(request):
form = CalisanForm(request.POST or None)
if form.is_valid():
    member_name = form.cleaned_data['member']
    member = Member.objects.create(first_name=member_name)
    group = Group.objects.get(name=form.cleaned_data['new_group_name'])
    group.add_member(member)
    return redirect('home')
return render(request, 'accounts/calisan/calisan.html', {'form': form})
```

you have to thread it through the layers, passing the choices you want from the view to the form, example code below. It uses [ModelChoiceField](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/fields/#modelchoicefield) instead of ChoiceField because then you don’t have to create your own choices list.

I also don’t think you should be using ModelForm in this case - because you’re not using it to create a User. So you don’t need the `class Meta` on the form class either.

form

```auto
class CalisanForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length=100, label='Çalışan Adı')
    group = forms.ModelChoiceField(
        queryset=Groups.objects.all(),
        widget=forms.widgets.RadioSelect()
    )

    def __init__ (self, *args, **kwargs):
        qs = kwargs.pop("group_qs")
        super(). __init__ (*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields["group"].queryset = qs

```

view (function):

```auto
def calisan(request):
    queryset = Group.objects.filter(...)
    form = CalisanForm(request.POST or None, group_qs=queryset)
    if form.is_valid():
        name = form.cleaned_data['name']
        member = Member.objects.create(first_name=name)
        group = form.cleaned_data['group']
        group.add_member(member)
        return redirect('home')
    else:
        return render(request, 'accounts/calisan/calisan.html', {'form': form})

```

outline of how you do this using a class-based view:

```auto
class ClassView(...):
    def get_form_kwargs(self):
        kwargs = super().get_form_kwargs()
        kwargs["group_qs"] = Group.objects.filter(...)
        return kwargs

```

From the information you’ve given I can’t tell. How do you know what groups the current user is in? Have you defined a link between a member and a user?

@takkaria When I register to my site, I create my group in the user registration form. I automatically join my group directly when I become a member. I’m logging in. Then, I want to add a new user. I want this user to be included in the group I created when I became a member. We need to be in the same group.

Sorry - I understand conceptually what’s going on but without the code I can’t help any further. What code would you write to show the current user’s Member object in a view? Do you have a custom user model or are you using a user profile to associate the member and the user together? Or do you have a custom Member class?

@takkaria There is no special connection between the user and the member. Both have the same status. What codes do you want (views.py codes?)

That’s your problem then - if there is no link between them how do you know which user record relates to which member?

> What codes do you want (views.py codes?)

The view for the user registration form would be useful I think.

Ah OK, so it looks like members and users are kept in sync - do you have [`AUTH_MODELS_SYNC`](https://django-groups-manager.readthedocs.io/en/latest/auth_integration.html) turned on?

It looks like `queryset = request.user.groups` might get you what you want

May I ask one more thing? Can I also set the member’s password? How do I add a password section?

Django’s documentation has you covered here 🙂 take a look at the authentication system docs, in particular [changing passwords](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/auth/default/#changing-passwords).

I pointed you to that page because it shows a user object has `set_password()` function. Try it out 🙂

At the moment it looks like you’re creating a Member, and then the groups manager package is creating a user for you in through its synchronisation functionality. But Members don’t have a `set_password` method - Users do. So you’d have to create a User here to be able to set its password.
