Hi all,
Can I have your opinions about the implementation of multiple user types
that can login and play in different roles?
What do you think about the answer on stack overflow?
Thanks,
Erdem

I would first question the basic premise of multiple user types. Is
that really necessary? Can a user every be of both types? Perhaps
the requirement is not for different types of users but for users with
different roles, meaning that a user can perform the role of a
publisher or a subscriber (in the example given) or perhaps even both.
In which case the requirement is just for a single user table with
something like cancan to provide roles.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually I don’t want each user to have multiple types. Only 1 type per
user is ok for me.
I can satisfy that by using polymorphic relations. I have 1 db table for
common user attributes(email,name,password) and 2 more tables for the 2
user types(admin,manager)
But I’m confused while implementing the SessionController.
Each user type will have different login and register forms.
Do you think using a single SessionController for the login/logout
operations for both user types is fine (with different session keys)?
Thanks,
Erdem
