Multiple users

In case you need more than one user type you need to go across the following steps that are very similar to those you followed in basic configuration chapter.

First of all you need to define a new user model.

// src/AppBundle/Entity/Employee.php

namespace AppBundle\Entity;

use BenGorUser\User\Domain\Model\User as BaseUser;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * [@ORM](https://github.com/ORM)\Entity
 * [@ORM](https://github.com/ORM)\Table(name="employee")
 */
class Employee extends BaseUser
{
}

Next, you have to append the newly created class' definition to the one you created in the basic configuration chapter:

# app/config/config.yml

ben_gor_user:
    user_class:
        user:
            class: AppBundle\Entity\User
            firewall: user
        employee:
            class: AppBundle\Entity\Employee
            firewall: employee

IMPORTANT! your_user_type mentioned across all the docs refers to the name you asign to each user model. The array key bellow user_class will be used for that. In this case user and employee strings will be used to replace your_user_type in the examples you will find.

After that, the basic security configuration needs to be changed. You will need to add a custom encoder, provider, firewall and access control for your newly created user type. You will end up with something similar to this:

security:
    encoders:
        AppBundle\Entity\User: bcrypt
        AppBundle\Entity\Employee: bcrypt
    providers:
        chain_provider:
            chain:
                providers: [bengor_user, bengor_employee]
        bengor_user:
            id: bengor_user.user.provider
        bengor_employee:
            id: bengor_user.employee.provider
    firewalls:
            dev:
                pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
                security: false
            user:
                anonymous: ~
                pattern: ^/user
                guard:
                    authenticators:
                        - bengor_user.user.form_login_authenticator
                provider: bengor_user
                form_login:
                    check_path: bengor_user_user_login_check
                    login_path: bengor_user_user_login
                    failure_path: bengor_user_user_login
                logout:
                    path: bengor_user_user_logout
                    target: /
            employee:
                anonymous: ~
                pattern: ^/employee
                guard:
                    authenticators:
                        - bengor_user.employee.form_login_authenticator
                provider: bengor_employee
                form_login:
                    check_path: bengor_user_employee_login_check
                    login_path: bengor_user_employee_login
                    failure_path: bengor_user_employee_login
                logout:
                    path: bengor_user_employee_logout
                    target: /
    access_control:
        - { path: ^/user/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/user/sign-up, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/user/enable, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/user/, role: ROLE_USER }
        
        - { path: ^/employee/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/employee/sign-up, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/employee/enable, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/employee/, role: ROLE_USER }

For further info about security configuration check oficial Symfony docs

Finally, you need to define the destination action the user will be redirected after login in as you did in basic configuration chapter .

namespace AppBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;

class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * [@Route](https://github.com/Route)("/user/", name="bengor_user_user_homepage")
     */
    public function userHomeAction()
    {
        // ...
    }
    
    /**
     * [@Route](https://github.com/Route)("/employee/", name="bengor_user_employee_homepage")
     */
    public function employeeHomeAction()
    {
        // ....
    }
}
