class AppController extends Controller {

   public function beforeFilter(){
  return $this->set('user', $this->getuser());

     }  

   function getuser(){
   if($this->Session->read('Auth.User.id')){
   $this->loadModel('User');
  $user = $this->User->find('first',array(
         'conditions'=>array('User.id'=>$this->Session->read('Auth.User.id')),'fields'=>array('id'))
  );
  if (!$user || empty($user)) return false;

When you use loadModel() you need to include the plugin name using Cake's plugin syntax (i.e. pluginName.modelName):-

$this->loadModel('Users.User');

Otherwise it will look for the User model in your app not the plugin.
