Could you explain more "... I need to pass authentication and access level
information
to my other layers, mainly because there will be an API that can access this
information outside of our web application"?

It means to get username and groups membership and pass it to other tiers as
part of the call?
What will be that "API that can access this information outside of our web
application"?
