Think this needs another discussion for all new to Hobo: Here is a post from Tom a while back:
Although it is a common source of confusion, it's actually fairly important to understand the difference between the two concepts, or you're at risk of messing up your nice MVC separation. current_user only makes sense in conjunction with the idea of a "current session", which only exists in the view and controller layers. That's why in 'normal' Rails apps you just can't get at that information from the model. But it struck me that "this model-level action is happening on behalf some specific user" is such a fundamental aspect of the kind of apps we right, that it was a good idea to support this in the model layer. As Bryan says, it's not _necessarily_ the current_user from the session. Rather, it's the user who is performing this action - the acting_user. Sometimes a common source of confusion is a good thing, because what's actually going on is a common misconception, and the confusion is an opportunity to straighten things out.
