I need a superuser, not a simple user. When employee is created, the employee.author field must be assigned by the logged in user (i.e. the current superuser). How should I do it? I hope you understood me correctly!
In the view class, you can get the current user with request.user. You will need to pass this into your serializer in order to set the author.
