Laravel：多种类型的用户

Question

I am working on an application, Where i have three type of users(real scenario), The application have three areas Freelancers and Lms (Learning Management systems) and admin panel for both :

• Admins => Users of the admin panel, Where all the statistics/data is there.
• Freelancers section : Freelancers section signin/signup
• Lms section => Learning management system section's users signin/signup

Currently i am not using any kind of multi auth functionalities, And whenever i login in a user in the freelancer section and i goes to the lms section the authenticated user is available there.

As i am using only one table for the users where i have a column userType(Which is not in use but there for future proofing).

I know a couple of packages Like this one. which i can implement but i haven't and thought that there might be a better way and stackoverflow community can provide one.

My question is how to handle this type of situation, Whats the most efficient and robust way.

Answer 1

It's probably not multiauth you're looking for but permissions on certain pages. Take a look at: https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission

It's very simple and straightforward. It even lets you single out users, that for example both have admin level, but just one can view it.
