I recently had a need for a sort of 'extended' node author field. Here's a patch to add a "Set to AUthor on Node Creation" option to userreference fields.

On node creation it ignores whatever the user entered (or, if the field is hidden by the content_permission module) and sets the value to the current user's UID.

I found another way to do this... Just add custom code to the default value of your CCK reference field:

global $user;
if($user->uid!=1){
return array( 0 => array('uid' => $user->uid) );
}
else return array();
