Blog post - author relation

Hello!

I’m working on a blog using Strapi as the CMS, and I have a couple of questions:

I want to assign an author role to my authenticated users so they can write new posts. However, on the frontend, I’d like to display both their avatar and nickname. Unfortunately, it seems Strapi accounts don’t include an avatar by default, so I can only retrieve their nicknames. :frowning_with_open_mouth:
Additionally, I’d like to automatically assign each post to the user who created it (to track post counts or create specific sections like “Alan’s posts”). Currently, the only way I’ve found to do this is by manually selecting the user when creating a new entry in the posts collection.
Is there a way to retrieve the avatar of authenticated users?
Is there a way to automatically assign posts to the user who writes them?

Thanks so much!
