Django form how to show logged in user only?

Question

I have a django model "Post" that has a field:

author = models.ForeignKey('auth.User')

I also have a PostForm in forms.py with author as a field and Post as the model. I want to only show the user logged in and not all superusers.

Is there a painless way of doing so? If not what is my best option?

From a high level, you'll need to handle it in the __init__ method of the form. After you call super, change the queryset on the author field of the form and set it to the request's user.

Could you give me an example? I guess I am a little confused, may be overthinking it. – Justin Smith Jun 26 '17 at 20:57
