Re: Multi Tenancy / SaaS
It's ok to design a model that expects User data but you should pass it to the model from the controller. What's TDD?

I'm not 100% on this, but I think the correct approach is to use the 'beforeSave', 'beforeDelete' and 'beforeFind' callbacks in the model, and simply add the `account_id` as a query condition. The problem comes when I'm trying to detect which tenant to use, because I can't use the database within the model. Does anyone have any experience with SaaS/multi-tenancy apps in cakePHP, and can help? Thanks in advance.

Multi Tenancy / SaaS
Hello I'm currently building a SaaS application using cakePHP. I've worked with cakePHP before a few times and I'm comfortable with how it all works. So, I have an `accounts` table which holds information about each tenant, and then a `users` table aswell, which will contain the users for each account/tenant. New users will initially be added through a basic plain PHP or WordPress front-end, so there won't be the need to create new `accounts` through the cakePHP side of the app. Just to be clear, each tenant will be on a subdomain of the main domain.
