The easiest approach would be to do like aranworld suggested and just
write different controllers for admins. Your controllers don't have to
be 1:1 with models. I write controllers based on logical grouping of
functionality as opposed to the literal base model - this also gives
you more meaningful URLs since your controller names will make more
sense to the user.
This way you can make adminprofile_controller and profile_controller
and have them exist in the controllers directory, AND still use admin
routing if you wanted to.
