Hello,
generally: I was looking for enum too for use types. You can use Has
One relationships to extend users by types as well. (User HasOne
Admin, User HasOne SuperUser, User HasOne Customer, User HasOne
Client) Besides that, if you can/want to work with a boolean switch
(is_admin TINYINT 1 UNSIGNED DEFAULT 0 (or 1) for instance) you should
just use cake bake and see what controller and view code it generates
because: that feature works out of the box (box = cake bake) each time
I used that.
King regards
Jonas
