DRF and React - request.user is "Anonymous user"

[Jackson Patrick]

I have used simple JWT for authentication and i have successfully logged in and am getting tokens also. But when i do a request.user in backend i get "Annonymous user".

Tried passing Authorization header in axios post in FE REACT but it throws error. Am setting both refresh and access in a state variable and store it in local storage . Am really new into this and I'm totally stuck here.

All i did was to temporarily solve the issue is to send the user id from frontend to backend and by the way it's a bad practice.

So please help me out in this guys.

make sure you have listed auth as jwt and added permission class for authentication

Do i need to pass token in headers?
