Just use conditional logic to change the auth settings and any relevant 
code in the user() action and user.html view.

I would think you could manage that by conditioning response.flash messages
with auth.is_member tests.

Also, have you played around with the user method of default.py?

Where are you wanting to show these messages?  At registration, or on a 
page for showing or entering data?

For the latter, you can do something like

  if auth.has_membership(group_id='admin'): 
report = CAT("Click ", A("here", callback=URL("advanced")), " to do 
advanced editing")
  else:
report = "Contact a supervisor if this data contains errors"
  report += render(data)
  return dict(report = report)

the auth.function() stuff normally appears in a decorator, but can be used 
inline as well.

It is getting muddy...
What about the different messages I want to show depending on the type of 
user ?

So, then maybe you just add users and they all get departmental access and
then have a button on the site where they can request admin access?

Then you can add them to an admin group that would give access to all
features.

Would that help?

That was fast response
Thanks.
Not sure it is an issue but for the departmental user registration, i want to 
use different messages, and handling. For example, departmental user should be 
approved automatically, while main users manually.

[web2py] Re: using the auth. infrastructure to manage another user list

[Jim S]

Sounds to me like the authorization system in web2py would work perfectly.  
Give a set of users access to a subset of the functionality.

Have you read 
through http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09/access-control?

Using auth_group, auth_membership and auth_permission along with the method 
decorators should give you all the control you need to restrict these users 
to a subset of your application.

I don't think you need a separate user table, just assign the users to 
groups.  You wouldn't even need permissions, just authorize/restrict based 
on group membership.

Give that a try and then let us know if it will work for you.
