Is session variable a good place to store authorization info?

I created a Auth component to do some special authorization checking.
The Auth component gets called first before any controller isAuthorized
routines.
   I was thinking about saving some permissions in a session variable
inside the Auth component.
Then the controller could get this detail and perform additional checks
on access to record or field level data.
I could also have access to this data in the Views to help with
displaying different data.

Does this make sense?  Is this a good idea?  Is there a better way?
