To summarize: He had an Essay table as follows:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class Essay(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=666)
    body = models.TextField()
    author = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, blank=True)

where multiuser can create essays, so he created a admin.ModelAdmin class as follows:

from myapplication.essay.models import Essay
from django.contrib import admin

class EssayAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('title', 'author')
    fieldsets = [
        (None, { 'fields': [('title','body')] } ),
    ]

    def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
        if getattr(obj, 'author', None) is None:
            obj.author = request.user
        obj.save()
