We can authenticate employees using identityclass feature provided in yii2. What if Admin is not an employee.?

Can we have two identity class in config.php or how to implement such case?

  • You don't need to have two identity class for it. Use the rbac wisely and it can be done via permission. – user773440 Aug 15 '17 at 15:15
  • How can we do it using RBAC – Questions Aug 15 '17 at 15:30
  • Create a table user group( amin, employee,moderator...) and create roles with those names, then use the user group in your user table. Follow user guide create permissions and roles. http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-security-authorization.html#using-db-manager .and check in your controller using \Yii::$app->user->can('PERMISSON'). It is simple as that. – user773440 Aug 15 '17 at 15:52
  • As Samit stated, you can do it using RBAC - create two roles "Admin" and "Employee" and assign them to users. Or you can create two different applications (using advanced yii2 template) and implement 2 identityclasses for each of them (of course you should divide users somehow in DB) – Yerke Aug 15 '17 at 15:52
  • I just have Employee table where fields are(EmpId, FirstName,MiddleName,) etc. Now I have assigned identityClass to be app\models\Employee. I have created the four tables auth_item, auth_item_child, auth_rule and cuth_assignment and inserted the entries in auth_item as admin and fieldofficer (i.e, roles created). Similarly I also assigned admin to one employee and field officer to two another employee. Now in Controller I have coded the access rules for above roles. Now when first field officer creates group, he should be able to view and update only his group details and not others – Questions Aug 15 '17 at 16:13
  • @Questions creates the rules. It is mentioned in the link I shared above. – user773440 Aug 15 '17 at 17:15
  • I have employee table and RBAC is implemented successfully. Now I have Pastor table. I can't have employee as Pastor because there are some fields in pastor table different from employee table. I will have to create a section for pastor. Now how should I implement login functionality using these two tables and at the same time how to make changes in the RBAC tables? – Questions Sep 11 '18 at 12:41
