You may indeed have different user types, but if they all need to log in, then why not have a single User table that handles the authentication that is common to all types? Do you really need different methods of logging your various types of users in? You can either then have different models for the 4 types, but they can all either inherit from User (which is the single table inheritance thing) -or- they can be separate models with their own relationships and such to the User table you use for authentication. If you really want to think about it, you don't need to make this part of you application at all, and use Devise as a completely separate Rails Engine with it's own models. All your application needs to deal with is authenticated users, and none of the business of actually authenticating them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
