Rather silly question

I have a few pages that are both available to the public and logged in users
but specific sections will display different elements based on logged in or
not.

So $this->Session->check($key) lets me know if logged in or not but what
would be the easiest way to set a global logged in var rather than

$active = $this->Session->check($key) ;

If($active){

} else {

}

In essence get rid of the $active = $this->Session->check($key) ; all over
the place.

Tried setting $this->set('active', 1); in function isAuthorized() { but get
undefined active in the view..

Thanks all,

K
