In your model for activity you would need to define the foreign key.
In this example user_id(customer) = "customer_id" and user_id(Customer
Service Agenet) = "csa_id":
var $belongsTo = array(
'Customer' => array (
'classname' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'customer_id'
),
'CSA' => array (
'classname' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'csa_id'
));
