I have a RestAPI created with the Django rest framework.

I need to create authentication for the API that will allow access on a predefined by the admin user name and password.

IS it possible with DRF?

Also, I want that every object created will be assigned to the user (which I guess includes using some kind of decorator in the view?)

  • DRF already ships with BasicAuthentication, which has the user send their username + password with each request. That sounds like what you want. (If it isn't, you can write your own Authentication class.)
  • To automagically assign created objects to the authenticated user, use CurrentUserDefault on the relevant User field.
