I’m trying to use AuthComponent::user('first_name') to access the users firstname and show it in a view. If I do debug(AuthComponent::user()); I see that I can only access the ID, Email and password of the currently logged in user but not his name etc.
Do I have to specify which userdata is available when the user is logged in or should this happen automatically?
The session is filled on the $this->Auth->login() call.
Everything you commit to this Method is stored in the session.
