✅

These are specified in the UserManager [Django-doc], you thus should inherit from the UserManager instead of a simple Manager:

from django.contrib.auth.models import UserManager

class CustomeUserManager(UserManager):
    def get_active_users(self):
        return CustomUser.objects.filter(
            is_active=True
        )

I would strongly advise not to return a list but a QuerySet for your get_active_users. A QuerySet can be filtered further and thus will not make a database query that then later should be post-processed at the Django/Python layer.
