This is trivial routing ;-)

There are many ways to achieve that, in one of my applications I use
the approach to create the routes for elements every time a db is
updated, but in most cases that would be an overkill.

So you need to insert in your routes.php something alike:
Router::connect('/users/*', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' =>
'view');
and the * part will be mapped to the first parameter in your
UsersController::view() method.

HTH,
