[web2py] Re: How do I track who clicks a submit button?
Depends on your goals. If we're talking about a SQLFORM based on a db table, it might make more sense to have a created_by and/or modified_by field in the table. The field(s) could be set to readable=writable=False, and set the default to auth.user_id. Whenever a record is inserted or updated, you then have the id of the user. In any case, the current logged in user's id is in auth.user_id (which is None if the user isn't logged in), so you could store that wherever you like upon form submission.

Thank you so much, Anthony. What if I have multiple users logged in? How would I store their ID upon clicking? Sorry I'm still learning I know that is a noob question.

Re: [web2py] Re: How do I track who clicks a submit button?
Each request is separate and independent. When a given user submits a form, a request is generated for that submit. In that request, the value of auth.user_id is the id of that particular user. When a different user submits the form, that generates an entirely new request, and in that request, the value of auth.user_id is the id of the second user (even if both submissions happen nearly simultaneously).
