Add a role column to the user info for role based access.
I suggest using cakedc users plugin.
When creating a new user you can specify a role.
I use this code in /cotroller/users/login
if ($this->Auth->user()) {
if($this->Auth->user('is_admin') == 1) {
$this->Auth->redirect('/admin/users/users/dashboard');
} else if ($this->Auth->user('role') == 'agent') {
$this->Auth->redirect('/agent/users/users/dashboard');
}else {
$this->Auth->redirect('/users/users/dashboard');
}
}
