+# Middlewares
 
+There is a `CurrentUserMiddleware` that catches the connected user of the last performed HTTP request and adds 
+to every model before it is saved. This is useful if you need to get the connected user that performed 
+the last HTTP request in a `pre_saved` signal. You can get it by using the following line :
+
+```python
+getattr(instance, MODEL_MODIFICATION_USER_FIELD, "Unknown user")
+```
+
+`MODEL_MODIFICATION_USER_FIELD` is a constant that lies in `djangoldp_notification.middlewares` and 
+`instance` is the instance of your model before save in DB.
