I have a BaseModel that looks like this:

class BaseModel(models.Model):
    updated_by = models.ForeignKey(UserTable???)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    created_by = models.TextField(default=0)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

I want to automatically update the updated_by and created_by fields. But I’m not sure what to put as the target of the ForeignKey. I’m using Django’s built in auth_user table, so I don’t have a model for that.

Also, I’m not clear how I would get the user, since I don’t have access to the request object
