The view knows the request. The request can be known in template context if the view allows it (e.g.; uses a request context). Any model method that depends on information from the request (like request.user) needs to be passed that information as an argument). While you can't pass an argument to a method being called using vanilla template syntax, you could write a custom template tag, allowing, for example {% get_user_specific_price model_instance %} . (Tags have access to the context, so you need not pass it explicitly. Your view would still need to add request or request.user to the context, unless you use a suitable template context processor to do so.)
