Thanks for the reply,
I like the fact that you can get the individual values using this method.
So if needed this information to dynamically change a menu for example, I
would need to put this into every Controller?, or App Controller to be
available everywhere?
What would be the difference between putting this in beforeRender v
beforeFilter?
Finally, I have been playing with $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id') in
the view itself. What are the pros and cons of this approach?
It seems that there are several possible ways to do it, but what is the
RIGHT way?
Thanks
