When it comes to user information (the logged-in user) I set that
user's data in AppController so that the username and other things are
available in any view. The following little tricks are common when
using AuthComponent for authentication:
in AppController::beforeFilter:
$user = $this->Auth->user();
$this->set('auth', $user );
So if what you want to do is along these lines it might be a good
idea?
The User model is also always available in any controller as:
$model =& $this->Auth->getModel();
$data = $model->some_method()
$this->set('some_data', $data );
