It is a component and thus only available to cotrollers.
What I do is I set the authentication data I need in my views from the
beforeFilter of AppController.
if ( isset($this->Auth) )
{
// do all the normal auth setups first. Then...
$this->set('auth', $this->Auth->user() );
}
Then I can check if the user is logged in or not. I can print his/her
name in the top-section if I want. Things like that.
You can do the same with Acl stuff.
if ( isset($this->Acl) )
{
$this->set('aclData', $this->Acl->someDataYouNeedOnEveryPage );
}
