I know we can create groups in ion auth. But I need sub group inside members and staff groups.The following user roles are required for my project.
- Admin
- Members
- plan A members
- plan B members
- plan C members
- Staff
- technical staff
- management staff
- general staff
Based on plan selected by member, the 'views' and functionalities will change.
I was thinking of adding a new column to users table to specify the plan used.
Another option is to create 3 plan groups without parent member group.
Is there any other way to add sub groups using ion auth?
@Arunu - your idea to make them each groups, not subgroups, is the best way to go.
There is no real reason to have a hierarchy of permissions (I think you may be mixing authentication with ACL a bit, a very easy thing to do).
Ion_auth is set up so that a user can have multiple groups - so, for example, all your users could have a Members record, and then a separate record for each sub group.
Each controller entry point simply says what groups are allowed in or not - it treats them all the same.
also, you can dynamically display data based on what groups the user belongs to
