Access current user from viewsets.ViewSet

Question

I am trying to access current user from List method in viewsets.ViewSet. But I am getting AnonymousUser.

I have tried this

class ReportViewSet(viewsets.ViewSet):
    """Shows purchase report group by day"""

    def list(self, request, **kwargs):
        print(self.request.user)

Is there any way to access current user from viewsets.ViewSet?

There is simply no logged in user. `AnonymousUser` means the client that made the request has not logged in. — Willem Van Onsem, Oct 12 '20 at 16:56
Sir, actually I was logged in. It probably couldn't detect, because I didn't give authentication_classes before. — SAIF AHMED ANIK, Oct 12 '20 at 17:18

Solved

from rest_framework.authentication import TokenAuthentication

class ReportViewSet(viewsets.ViewSet):
    """Shows purchase report group by day"""

    authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,)


    def list(self, request, **kwargs):
        print(self.request.user)
