Validation rules go in the model not in the controller. What you want to do is use scenarios. When you put a rules in the model you can do something like:

array('username', 'required', 'on'=>'frontUserCreate'),

By using the 'on'=>'...' part you can tell in what scenario the rule must be applied. In your controller when you create a new model you should give the scenario as a parameter:

public function actionfrontuserCreate()
{
    $model = new User('frontUserCreate');
    if (isset($_POST['User']) {
        ....
    }
    $this->render('viewname', array('model'=>$model));
}

Hi i hope i can help you:

rules should be declared in the model even if the model is shared between one or more controllers with different kind of actions ...

but you do not want a rule to be executed in all of those actions so you specify wich actions can take that rule using scenarios, i leave you an example: 

array('password_repeat', 'required', 'on'=>'register'),

code above only makes pasword_repeat required on scenario register

then in your controller you will specify wich scenario will be used...

$modelA = User::model()->findByPk(1); // $model->scenario = 'update'
$modelB = new User();                 // $model->scenario = 'insert'
$modelB->scenario = 'light';          // custom scenario
if ($modelB->validate()) {  ...

i hope this solve your issue, for bonus i suggest to check default yii scenarios insert, update, delete ....
