This was exactly was I was looking for. Did you ever write this into a Behavior class? Thanks again, Jeff Neil, thank you for the code! This was exactly was I was looking for. Did you ever write this into a Behavior class?

Thanks again, Jeff

I think that singular nouns are always the best approach for a relationship, as it makes much more sense on the code: $this->Project->Milestone->find('all'); $this->Task->Creator->read(); just another thought on the relation you stablished, wouldn’t it be more friendly and logical if it was: Stuff belongsTo Creator and Stuff belongsTo Editor?

Regarding Felix's method, it feels weird to access stuff statically that depend on user interaction with the site? I think I prefer your method. I am either going to wrap this functionality up in a behaviour for my next project or I might check out phishy's versionable behaviour, that looks pretty useful. @rafaelbandeira3, welcome and thanks for your comment.

I've achieved the same with a behavior - name OwnableBehavior - with an easy implementation independent of the controller. It can be done either looking on $_SESSION or implementing something similar with the auth system suggested in many posts of debbugable.com - with an static class to grab user information anywhere in the app. Felix have used the User model in his approach, I instead preferred to create a proper class, named AppUser, and just to manage logged in user info, the AuthComponent remained doing it's job It’s a nice approach.
