Always call as first
$this->User->create(); //see the API
and then either
$fieldList = array(...);
$this->User->set($this->request->data);
$this->User->set('field', 'value');
$this->User->save(null, true, $fieldList);
or directly
$this->User->save($this->request->data, true, array(...));
Which fields will be saved, it is decided by combination of two factors -
which fields are present in data, and which fields are specified in
whitelist array. Usage of whitelist (3rd param of Model::save()) is good
habit - if form fields are generated by FormHelper and controller uses
SecurityComponent, you don't have to worry about form tampering in client's
browser, but it is better/safer to tell model about desired fields anyway.
