No, db.auth_user.id is simply a Field object, representing the "id" field in the auth_user table model definition. > Or > auth.user_id > In the above, "auth" refers to the instantiation of the Auth object via Auth(db, ...) -- it is not a database table model. auth.user_id holds the ID of the currently logged in user. auth.user is the record of the currently logged in user from the db.auth_user table. auth.user.id is therefore also the ID of the currently logged in user -- however, auth.user_id is preferred, because it returns None in case no user is logged in, whereas auth.user.id will throw an exception.
