I''m trying to design an RBAC solution for my project. I don''t
want to use
plugins or engines as I''d like to know how it works. My problem is as
follows.
I have 4 user types: caller, client, rep, admin. Each have their own model
because they would require different registration information. For instance
rep requires tax id # whereas caller requires social security numbers
[example]. I also have a model for my user authentication.
The structure of the tables are: http://pastie.caboo.se/9897
independent_reps belongs to user
.. has many clients, callers
callers belong to user, independent reps
clients belong to user, independent reps
user has many independent reps, callers, clients
How can I view the name of my callers or reps based on the User model?
I''m
looking for something like User.jobtype.name which would print
User.client.name if its a client or User.caller.name if its a caller etc.
Should I set my database up differently?
Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
