You can do what you want, look the doc here : http://sailsjs.org/documentation/reference/configuration/sails-config-views

The layout attributs can only be a string or a boolean, there no way actually to define a layout with a function or for an entire controller.

You can make a feature request to sails to see this feature in a next version.

You can specify layout file in your controller like this :

myAction : function (req, res)
{
    var layout = "layout-public";
    if(req.session.authenticated)
    {
            layout = "layout-admin";
    }
    res.view("myview", {
        layout   : layout
    });
}
