Re: User Id Question

I basically want all my controller actions to be user specific once a
user is logged in. I'm getting close and these suggestions have been
very helpful.

The main task would be to assure that all related records that are
returned, found, added, etc, are tied to a specific user.id.

For instance, the project I am working on is a song catalog. The
hierarchy is UserGroups -> Users -> Catalogs -> Songs.

Individual users can have many Catalogs but when the view for Songs is
displayed or one tries to add a new song, all the records in the DB
are displayed or all Catalogs from all Users are available in the
Catalog dropdown form item. I only want the selection choices for
Catalog to be those of the logged in user. Right now (with Baked views
and controllers) every Catalog belonging to every user is displayed as
a possible choice. I also need to make sure only related records
(keyed by user.id) are shown in all cases.

Please forgive me if I am not making this as understandable as it
needs to be. Thanks so much for your help.
