This sentence is possible if you are discussing how a web page ought to be designed, when it would mean “I don’t think/envisage that this column should be filled in by the user”. It doesn’t really work if you are describing how an existing web page actually does operate.

  1. Go to the forum that is appropriate for your question (there is a list at english-test.net/forum/ ; the one we’re in right now is “English Vocabulary, Grammar and Idioms”).
  2. Click on the “new topic” button near the top of the page.
  3. Type your question and click “Send message”.

Probably simply:
‘This column is not filled in by the user.’
‘This column is not to be completed by the user.’
‘The user does not have to complete this column’.
‘The user does not complete this column.’
