If you are not using the generic django class based views, you will have to implement the request’s POST and GET functionality yourself. The easiest is to create a form from your user model and handle the request based on whether it’s a POST request type or not.

Try this:

forms.py (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/forms/modelforms/)

from django.forms import ModelForm
from .models import User

class UserForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Users
        fields = ['username', 'organization_id']

views.py

from .models import User
from .forms import UserForm

def UsersCreate(request):
    # This function can hadle both the retrieval of the view, as well as the submission of the form on the view.
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()  # This will save the user.
            # Add the user's role in the User Role table below?
        # 
    else:

        # The form should be passed through. This will be processed when the form is submitted on client side via this functions "if request.method == 'POST'" branch.
        form = UserForm()

        var = user_group_validation(request)
        userInc = Users.objects.get(id=request.user.id).organization_id.pk
        request.session['userInc'] = userInc

        if var['group'] == 'superuser':
            object_list = Users.objects.all()
            organization = Organizations.objects.all()
            roles_choice = DefaultLandingPage.objects.all()
        if var['group'] == 'admin' or var['group'] == 'user':
            object_list = Users.objects.filter(organization_id=request.session['userInc'])
            organization = Organizations.objects.filter(id=request.session['userInc'])

            # The line below will ensure that the the dropdown values generated from the template will be filtered by the 'request.session['userInc']'
            form.organisation_id.queryset = organization

            roles_choice = DefaultLandingPage.objects.exclude(role=1)
        url = request.session['url']
        tpl = var['tpl']
        role = var['group']
        organization_inc = Organizations.objects.filter(id=request.session['userInc'])

        template = get_template(app+u'/users_form.html')

    return HttpResponse(template.render(locals()))

In your app+u’/users_form.html’ file, you can access the UserForm fields as follows:

<!-- inside your <form> tag add: -->>
{{ form.username }}
{{ form.organisation_id }}

I haven’t tested this code but this should get you on the right track.
