how should I render views when users habtm roles. cake

Answer 1

It's difficult to answer because the sort of questions you're asking require us to decide how your application will work. You have to do that yourself and make appropriate design & programming based on your decision.

As for display of HABTM records, I usually use checkboxes or some graphical readonly equivalent.

My suggestion is that you look around the web to see how it works on other sites - social sites like Flickr and Facebook are a good hunting ground as they have lots of groups, categories etc.

Answer 2

user admin routing... and have many prefixes. and may be in the place where you display user information. you can also list the other roles he can play.
