You could simple do this by adding a admin boolean to the users table,
and test $data['User']['admin']
or if you want to do it with groups you can do a find on the logged user
like this:
$user = $this->User->find('all');
and here you will have the user data and it's groups
if you want to do this in login action then set in the beforeFitler():
$this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
or if you want to cancel the auth redirection only for login action do:
if ($this->params['action'] == 'login' || $this->params['action'] ==
'admin_login') {
$this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
}
dunno if this is what you want but you can access the join model like
this:
$this->User->GroupsUser
cake automatically creates it for you
