Hi,
I have Users and Groups. When a user logs in I want the group name to
be part of the record that is stored in Session. Currently I get this:

array (
    'id' => '4',
    'username' => 'swright',
    'group_id' => '4',
    'created' => '2011-12-05 11:36:30',
    'modified' => '2011-12-05 11:36:30',
)

What I want is this:

array (
    'id' => '4',
    'username' => 'swright',
    'group_id' => '4',
    'group' => 'administrators',
    'created' => '2011-12-05 11:36:30',
    'modified' => '2011-12-05 11:36:30',
)


I figured I could just fetch the group name in the login method after
the user is logged in. However my login method never gets called when
I submit the data. But the user is logged in and redirected to the
appropriate controller/action. The method is called when the login
page is first requested but upon submission of the form it does not
seem to get called again.

So I poked around the Auth component but the login function does not
contain and sort of redirect that I could see. I am using Acl and Auth
so this probably has something to do with it.

Can you explain the execution chain for logging in a user when using
Acl and Auth?

I think there's probably also a way to do it automatically by defining
something in the User model but I am not sure.

Thanks.
