Best Answer

Try this

<?php

namespace Learning\HelloPage\Observer;

use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;

class Productsavebefore implements ObserverInterface
{    
    protected $authSession;

    public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer,
        \Magento\Backend\Model\Auth\Session $authSession)
    {
        $this->authSession = $authSession;
        $admin_user_id = $this->authSession->getUser()->getId();

        $_product = $observer->getProduct();  // get product object
        //set the the attribute vale
        $_product->setAdminUserId($admin_user_id);
    }       
}

But you can save the product attribute while editing the product in backend itself.
