From the django shell how do you list staff users

You can adapt:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
active_staff = User.objects.filter(is_active=True, is_staff=True)

You could add in a username= or similar and if you get an empty result, then you know they don't match the criteria. For info on what's in the default model, see django.contrib.auth.
