Author of authorized form - auto save author in DB

I have a user form ... I would like to automatically save the author (authenticated user) for the form data. I use ModelForm to create a form.

models.py

    class Tracker(models.Model):
        client = models.ForeignKey(Clients)
        user = models.ForeignKey(User)
        description = models.TextField()
...

I also linked the custom profile to the django user table ... also auth works fine ... I can read the user and id ...

forms.py

class TrackerForm(ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(TrackerForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields.keyOrder = ['date_job_start','date_job_end','description','onsite','billable','client']
    class Meta:
        model = Tracker
        widgets = {
            'client': HiddenInput(),
        }

, ... ( ). , , ? , , ... ... , auth... - ...

P.S.: initial... ?

        obj.user = self.user
        obj.save()
        return obj

:

form = TrackerForm(user=request.user) #and other parameters
