What I did was simply write my own
Configure::write('Routing.CustomRouting', array('Admin' => 'admin', 'Owner'
=> 'manage' , 'Employee' => 'editor'));
simply because my routes and Roles did not match up and I hate arrays that
are 0,1,2 since that's means nothing. Imagine trying to remember if
$something[0] = $something thru the site....forget that!
Then in isAuthorized function since everyone is routed thru their own prefix
simply compare the prefix (manage/profile would mean Owner role) with the
value.
function isAuthorized() {
$access = false;
if ( isset ( $this->params['prefix'] ) ) {
$routes = Configure::read('Routing.CustomRouting');
$access_role = $this->Auth->User( 'role_id' );
$routed_role = $routes[$access_role];
$this_prefix = $this->params['prefix'];
if( $this->Session->valid() && $this_prefix === $routed_role ) {
//do other stuff define layouts whatever
$access = true;
}
Return $access;
}
That worked for me. Every situation is different so it might help or get you
started.

Subject: Prefix routing and different user types
Hi
I have an application that a user can login too to access certain
parts of the site.
I'm using the Auth component, and have added a variable to my database
that has different user types.
I am then using the admin prefix routing, as well as another customer
prefix for one of the user types. So I have views such as
/usertype/model/add
/admin/model/add
etc
What I want to know is what is the best way to automatically route
people through to these, dependant on their user type?
One thing I want to do is automatically force the user into a route at
the login stage. I currently define this using
$this->Auth->loginAction =
Is there a way to define different ones dependant on my user types?
Thanks
