How to retrieve objects that are not created by the user?

Question

This question might be weird, but i want to retrieve objects except the objects created by the login in user

Well i tried this code in my view

def getobjects(request):
    products=Products.objects.filter(user!= request.user)

But does not work.

In model

class Products(models.Model):
    name=models.Charfield()
    user=models.ForeignKey(User)

I will need help with the right query function to handle this. Thanks in advance

Sounds like you are looking for [exclude](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/db/queries/#retrieving-specific-objects-with-filters) — Abdul Niyas P M, May 16 '19 at 09:10

You can exclude request user

products=Products.objects.exclude(user = request.user)

try this `.exclude(user_id = request.user.pk)` and make sure your request has user object. – shafik May 16 '19 at 09:17
