title: Accessing request.user in class based generic view CreateView in order to set FK field in Django
body: <p>So I have a model that includes:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Place(models.Model):
      ....
      created_by = models.ForeignKey(User)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My view is like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class PlaceFormView(CreateView):
      form_class = PlaceForm
  
      @method_decorator(login_required)
      def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
          return super(PlaceFormView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way for me to access request.user and set created_by to that user?  I've looked through the docs, but can't seem to find any hints toward this.</p>
  
  <p>`</p>
