Ok, but why to create a new User if you want to update and existing one ? Maybe I do not catch really what you want to do, but if you edit only some fields of data and submit form for update, why the overhead of create new user etc .... Do not get me wrong, surely you have a good reason that I do not catch yet. Anyway, if cake is doing the job you want, everything is fine.
