For the views maybe you can use nested views.

For the controller i don't see any other solution than doing two different request.

I just filter that kind of thing at the repository level. For example, I might have a ComputerRepository class with a getAll function but also a FilterByRoleId function. At the controller level, I'll do something like this:

function index()
{
    $computers = $this->repo->filterByRoleId(Auth::user()->role)->getAll();
    
    return View::make('computers.list', compact('computers'));
}

And if it were also multi-tenant?
