Django: how to narrow the options in a ManyToManyField of a ModelForm?

I have a Model that has a ManyToManyField related to User (that'd be djando users).

So, I want to present a form to a user so that the list of users is available so they can pe picked... and it does show up (the beauties of django). Just extended ModelForm, provided the model in Meta and it's done.

What I'd like to do now is restrict the list of users that show up instead of all the users. Is that possible without much hassle? Is there a hook/method that I could use when the list of users is retrieved that I could override?

As a workaround, I placed the removal of the unwanted users from the form on JS... I'd like to get it right from the form, though.

Oh... and the check is performed on form validation again, so no crap will be allowed to drop in :-)
