Then you just need to set the model and tell it what the primary key
is:
$primaryKey = "email";
Then $this->Administrator->id would be the the email.
You might also need to set the Auth fields to match (I do this in my
App controller's beforeFilter):
$this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'user_name',
'password' => 'user_password');
