isDisabledBecauseRepeatedCaseInsensitiveUsername(all_users=None)¶

Returns True if the user is disabled and there’s another user with the same name when settings.USERNAMES_CASE_INSENSITIVE is True.

This method stores the result of the function in _disabled_because_insensitive_name So if we use this function multiples times for a user, we just query the database once.

all_users parameters is a parameter having all users in Vidispine, so that when this function is evaluated for lots of users, we don’t need to get all the users on this function each time is called for a different user.

This is evaluated here and not in the UserProfile Model because sometimes that instance is missing for an user, while we always have a Vidispine user
