{{user}} is implicitly sent in the request, so it might be worth trying to
sort out what specifically went wrong when you say
{{user.is_authenticated}} went wrong.
Here's a fully functioning example of some things you can do with the user
object:
{% block header %}
<header id="navbar" class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top"
role="navigation">
<div class="navbar-header">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Home</a>
</div>
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li><a href="#">Projects</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Reports</a></li>
{% if user.is_staff %}
<li><a href="#">Usage</a></li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
{% if user.is_superuser %}
<li><a href="#">Settings</a></li>
{% endif %}
<li class="dropdown">
<a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle"
data-toggle="dropdown">
{% if user.first_name %}
Welcome, {{ user.first_name }}
{% else %}
Welcome, {{ user.username }}
{% endif %}
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu navbar-dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">Sign Out</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
{% endif %}
</header>
{% endblock %}
