✅

You can’t filter on the user in your urls.py, because you don’t know the user when the urls are loaded.

Instead, subclass ListView and override the get_queryset method to filter on the logged in user.

class PendingApplicationView(ListView):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return Application.objects.filter(status='IP', principle_investigator=self.request.user)

# url pattern
url(r'^application/pending/$', PendingApplicationView.as_view()),
