RE: Admin Login

Sorry let me refine my question.  I have a user model which has a list of groups. namely 'user', 'admin' etc.  Similarly the group has multiple users. I have an associate for this in my User model:
 
    var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 
            'Group' => array('className' => 'Group', 
                        'joinTable' => 'groups_users', 
                        'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 
                        'associationForeignKey' => 'group_id', 
                        'unique' => true 
            ) 
    );
 
 
Now I have two logins,
http://localhost/cake/admin/users/login for admin
http://localhost/cake/users/login for regular users.
 
when a user logins in say as admin, I need to get the groupid associated in groups_users table so that I can redirect him to appropriate admin page. Same is true for regular users..
Both admin and regular users use the same User model. Is there a way to differenciate between these two users?
 
Thanks,
Bharani
