Allocating items to users

[dtdave]

I have the following code:

from django.conf import settings
from django.db import models

class AccountManager(models.Model):
    account_manager = models.ForeignKey(
        settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=True, blank=True
    )

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Account Manager'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Account Managers'

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.account_manager)

The view for this, effectively a profile, is as follows

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views.generic import DetailView
from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin

from .models import AccountManager

User = get_user_model()


class AccountManagerDetailView(LoginRequiredMixin, DetailView):
    model = AccountManager
    template_name = "accountmanagers/dashboard.html"
 
    def get_object(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.request.user

And the url:

urlpatterns = [
    path('detail/', views.AccountManagerDetailView.as_view(), name='accountmanagers'),
]

The template then shows the relevant user details but my problem is that I am stuck allocating the clients to the specific account manager. I know that I am missing the point in implementing a queryset and tieing it to that user.

Any help would be appreciated.

What would you like the relationship between client and account manager
to be? One to one? One to many? Many to many?
