Re: Getting logged in username and group id

How about something like this...

if(AuthComponent::user('group_id') == 1) {

 echo $this->Element('group1View');

}

Just trying to improve how I'm doing things.

I'm checking a user's usergroup id and displaying additional options
if they are in a particular usergroup. (followed the 2 part ACL
tutorial in the 2.0 book)

Here's an example I have in one of my views, to display different
content if you have the permissions:

<?php
$user = $this->Session->read('Auth.User');

       if(isset($user)){
               if($user['group_id'] == 1){
                       //Display Admin Options
               }elseif($user['group_id'] == 2){
                       //Display Manager Options
               }elseif($user['group_id'] == 3){
                       //Display User options
               }
       }
?>

It works - but it doesn't seem very efficient. I would have to put
that chunk of code into EVERY view that I create. Just looking for a
little guidance on how I can use this code more efficiently and
accomplish the same thing easier and more to standards.

Thanks
