different user types? how to 'code'?
so if i have diff type of users (client, students, teacher) with some same fields some not - how should i approach this? how would login work? should i do user model and then just have a type? or do i actually have three entities and then do a one-one with user?

Would be nice if you will create 3 different tables clients, students and teaches, but you could use https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/eloquent-relationships#polymorphic-relations

You can also manage this way, So you can add 'type' column in users table like here: https://itsolutionstuff.com/post/laravel-5-simple-user-access-control-using-middlewareexample.html

Try to take a look with this package: https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission I am using it.

@shez1983 Have a single User model, then have a user_type or similar column. Use authorization to determine what a user can see in your application based on their user type.

@martinbean so you are saying i have a policy that dictates what people can do? how do i extend it to say this user cannot see this page...
