Why not just use $this->Auth->user('whatever')? AppController loads
the Auth component, so any other controller can access it.Also, AppController::beforeFilter() will still run if you do not have beforeFilter() in your own controller. It will only *not* run if you override beforeFilter() in your controller and fail to call the parent's. So, there's no need to create your the method in a controller if only to ensure AppController's version will be run. It will run on its own.
