The documentation for the user attribute here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/request-response/#attributes-set-by-middleware

says "Some of the middleware included in Django's contrib apps set
attributes on the request. If you don't see the attribute on a request,
be sure the appropriate middleware class is listed in MIDDLEWARE."

So maybe you should check your MIDDLEWARE settings?

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup
