Sorry sounded good, but than what about me when I want to login as admin? I need admin role so I guess I cannot simply drop roles.

Although I didn't use a Role model. User: public $hasOne = array( 'Member' => array( 'className' => 'Member', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'dependent' => true ), 'Affiliate' => array( 'className' => 'Affiliate', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'dependent' => true ), 'Administrator' => array( 'className' => 'Administrator', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'dependent' => true ) ); Member: public $belongsTo = array( 'User' => array( 'className' => 'User', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id' ) ); In the users table there are columns for model and foreign_key. In the login action I grab the data from the associated model: $model_name = $this->Auth->user('model'); $this->User->{$model_name}->recursive = -1; $data = $this->User->{$model_name}->read( null, $this->Auth->user('foreign_key') ); $this->Session->write( $model_name, $data[$model_name] ); On Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 5:27 PM, Advantage+ <[email protected]> wrote: > I need to build a dual sided / role related site so there are 2 types > of Users (Buyer and Seller) so upon registration User will select who > they are and based on that create the User. > > They can only be one or the other. > > So when logged in as Buyer the can access the buyer end of the site, > same as Seller. > > > > But the issues I see come because the Seller / Buyer have different > relations to other models.
