Expiring users in Django

I needed to add auto-expiry feature for users in a Django project. It turned out to be super simple.

In this case this was made super-easy since I could override User model.

So here is example snippet:

# Need to inherit from AbstractBaseUser as AbstractUser has already defined
# ``is_active`` as a database backed field.
class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):

    # ... You need to define all "profile" fields here since AbstractBaseUser user
    # deals only with permissions and friends.

    full_name = models.CharField(ugettext_lazy("User full name", ...))

    # You will also need this for admin support.
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(
        _('staff status'),
        default=False,
        help_text=_('Designates whether the user can log into this admin site.'),
    )

    @property
    def is_active(self) -> bool:
        # Your business logic here.
        return is_user_active(self)

Default ModelBackend checks is active when logging user in, and when loading user from session, so when user expires they will loose access to the site immediately.
