To reduce the problem of writing two views, you can use elements, and
use those elements in both views for the bits that are common.
For instance I have a code snippet that includes a list that is used
in multiple views that looks like:
echo $this->element('signup_list', array( 'slots' =>
$availableSlots ));
Seems to me that the difference would then be the the additional bits
you put in the admin view, which would protect them from the non-admin
user.
It also makes testing easier since you can log in as admin and have
the same view as a user.
