How do I get my Authenticated user info? As Id and such?

I'm new at the latest cakephp versions and hadn't used the Authentication Component until now. I'm trying to validate a user being an admin but can't find how to get the user id to get it, nor how to get the identifier. $this->Authentication->getIdentifier() throws an error that the identifier does not exist.

In general I'm trying to do a little cms to learn new framework usage and such. Haven't used it since 2.x

It's $this->Authentication->getIdentity()->getIdentifier() to get the id. You can also use the get()-method to get other fields, for example $this->Authentication->getIdentity()->get('username') returns the username.
