Use get_user_model() method instead (you can import it from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model):

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
User = get_user_model()

class AllUser(ListAPIView):
    model = User
    serializer_class = UserSerializer
    queryset = User.objects.all()  # or User.objects.filter(is_active=True)

settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL is just a string, which can be used when you define a model, (e.g. ForeignKey accepts a string) but not when you need the actual class.

See this for a detailed explanation.
