I think typically the better implementation would be to use the same model and use ACL to determine permissions. This is pretty complicated though.
Too accomplish what you are talking about you can use the userModel variable from the Auth component: http://book.cakephp.org/view/248/AuthComponent-Variables You would set it in the beforeFilter of the controller which you want to use that model. ie. users_controller.php beforeFilter() { $this->Auth->userModel = 'User'; } clients_controller.php beforeFilter() { $this->Auth->userModel = 'Client'; } On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 9:38 AM, K3 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > i have users model (for content management administrators) and clients > model (for registered clients). > > Can i use the same Auth compoennt for both models (to allow them to > login/register)? or i need different approach? > Any examples/help? > > thanks. > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "CakePHP" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<cake-php%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php?hl=. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
