The point is that Session is not defined in models. So if you do like this, you will have to do it each time you want to save a User without the group_id field, in each of your controller's actions.
Doing it directly in the model allows you to care about the presence of the group_id field only once. But it is done through an extra SQL query to retrieve the group_id value. We could of course retrieve the group_id in the model by directly using the $_SESSION variable. By the way, I have always wondered if it was a design choice to not have access to the CakeSession object in the model. If anyone has the answer, I would be happy to read it. nIcO On 4 juin, 22:25, stefano <[email protected]> wrote: > try with > > $this->data["User"]["group_id"] = $this->Session- > > >read("Auth.User.group_id"); > > :) > > s. > > On May 24, 10:59 am, Jon Chin <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I'm using Auth and db ACL, but I have an action that screws up my ACL > > records every time.
