Re: Set user variables

Why not just use $this->Auth->user('whatever')? AppController loads
the Auth component, so any other controller can access it.

Also, AppController::beforeFilter() will still run if you do not have
beforeFilter() in your own controller. It will only *not* run if you
override beforeFilter() in your controller and fail to call the
parent's. So, there's no need to create your the method in a
controller if only to ensure AppController's version will be run. It
will run on its own.
