[Answered ]-Show profile to the owner only and not to other users in view

There is no need to implement a slug_field or anything if you only want to show this to the owner. You can simply return the logged in use in get_object:

class UserDetailView(LoginRequiredMixin, DetailView):
    model = User
    
    def get_object(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.request.user

The url can thus look like:

path('profile/', UserDetailView.as_view(), name='profile')

without a primary key, since the User object is fully determined by the logged in user.
