How to avoid extra php code in views

There should be a better way than what I am doing right now......

I have a set of 3 default Roles (Owner, Admin, Member).  users can add,
delete, modify the Roles, except the 3 Default Roles.

If I create views like "edit", then all the fields in the Role table, go
into a Form and are editable.

So, now, in the edit.ctp, I am comparing the name to see if I want to
make it editable.

if (in_array($this->request->data['name'], array('owner',
'admin','member'))) {
     echo $this->Form->label('Role.name', 'Role:
'.$this->request->data['name']);
} else {
     echo $this->Form->input('Role.name');
}

I have several things like this that are either displayed (not editable)
or editable depending on the role or permissions of the user.  I don't
want to create different controller functions and different views for
each variation. But, I am also not sure that passing a bunch of
information to views and have them make the decision is right either.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
bill
