GlobalAuth-Component

Since CakePHP 3.0 it's very hard to get the logged in user into your models, behaviors and other classes beside controllers ($this->Auth->user()). The GlobalAuth-Component allows us to get the logged in user global.

Loading

You can load the component in your AppController:

public function initialize() {
    // code
    $this->loadComponent('Utils.GlobalAuth');
}

Usage

Whenever you need data of the logged in user use the following code:

$user = Configure::read('GlobalAuth');

$user will now contain an array with the data of the user.
