Hello,

I have a “Address” collection in which I have a relationship with my user collection, I would like that each new entry in the Address collection be directly linked to the user that created it, via his JWT, but I do not know exactly how to proceed, am I obliged to create a custom function in the Strapi code?

Hi @Oddwerth,

You can easily access to the user objecti on Authenticated endpoint thanks : ctx.state.user

After that you can create a custom controller based on the core controllers and just put inside the data the ID of the User who called the endpoint.

If you need more details about it: Is Owner - Strapi Developer Documentation
