In the app I am building for data analysis, I want all logged in users

django.contrib.auth to filter the full list of datafiles according to
the user object?
If so, how do I go about this? I'm thinking of attaching a user_id field
to the file when it is uploaded, and then filtering against that wen a
logged in user goes to the list of files, but I'm not sure how I would
implement this.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Your best option is to add a foreign key to your user model (usually
django.contrib.auth.models.User) in your model that handles your datafiles.
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Datafile(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
...
When a user upload a datafile, don't forget to set the user field:
mydatafile.user = request.user
And then you can filter datafiles:
Datafile.objects.filter(user=request.user)
