Django custom managers - how do I return only objects created by the logged-in user?

Question

I want to overwrite the custom objects model manager to only return objects a specific user created. Admin users should still return all objects using the objects model mana

Answer 1

It seems necessary to use the middleware to store the user information.

However, I'd rather not modify the default ModelManager objects, but hook it upto a different manager, that I will use in the code, say in your case user_objects instead of objects.

Since you will use this only within views that are @login_required you dont need all the complex error handling in the Middleware.

Just my 2¢.
