I am trying to figure out how to:
1. Add a dropdown between the "show entries" and "search" area
2. Hide a column that is if user is active/inactive
3. use dropdown to filter that column

Add a dropdown between the "show entries" and "search" area

See this example to add custom toolbar elements.

Hide a column that is if user is active/inactive

Use the columns.visible init option or column().visible() to hide columns.

use dropdown to filter that column

Create an event handler for the select input and use column().search() in the event handler. See this example that applies filters to all columns in the footer. You will need to modify it a bit for your particular solution.
