No.
The `post_save` signal is a feature of the model API, which doesn't
know anything about these "users" of which you speak. Consider: if I
drop into a Python prompt, and type::
>>> YourModel.objects.create(**some_data)
... a `post_save` signal will be fired. Which user should that be
associated with?
Users -- and authentication in general -- are a feature of the view
layer, which is higher level than the model level the save signals
live at. If you need to associate a user with some object, you need to
do it at the view level where `request.user` is available.
