Ok to set userdata session variables in admin controller?

The best way if to pass data as variables like instructed on the UserGuide Views
because having access to the $this object from the view can create accidental overwriting of the properties of $this or $this itself. therefor violating the MVC model.

I am only pertaining to the way you pass the data though. But as long as you know what you are doing, you can bravely experiment.
