RE: Database Setup Help / Relations

Sorry sounded good, but than what about me when I want to login as admin?
I need admin role so I guess I cannot simply drop roles.

That's what I've done in the past. Although I didn't use a Role model.

User:

public $hasOne = array(
'Member' => array(
'className' => 'Member',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'dependent' => true
),
'Affiliate' => array(
'className' => 'Affiliate',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'dependent' => true
),
'Administrator' => array(
'className' => 'Administrator',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'dependent' => true
)
);

Member:

public $belongsTo = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id'
)
);

In the users table there are columns for model and foreign_key. In the login
action I grab the data from the associated model:

$model_name = $this->Auth->user('model');
$this->User->{$model_name}->recursive = -1; $data =
$this->User->{$model_name}->read(
null,
$this->Auth->user('foreign_key')
);

$this->Session->write(
$model_name,
$data[$model_name]
);
