If you have only two roles you could create a model which extends the User model for each of them. Here is a example: https://tighten.co/blog/extending-models-in-eloquent.

Login a user and assign him a model based on a role field on the users table
Hi, I am trying to create a custom login, where after logging in the user gets assigned a custom model that inheritance the default User model based on a "role" field on the users' table, the reason is that each model has its own relations.
I started by adding custom guards:
'teacher' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider'=> 'teachers',
],
'student'=> [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider'=> 'students',
]
and providers:
'teachers' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\Teacher::class,
],
'students' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model'=> App\Student::class,
],
I don't exactly know what to do next, how to create a custom controller that assign a logged in user a Teacher or Student based on the "role" field of the users table?

Why not make it a relation on your user model?
If you have a role_id on your user table, you could do something like this on your User model:
// you can name this function whatever
public function group()
{
switch ($this->role_id) {
case 1: // or whatever id belongs to teacher role
return $this->belongsTo(Teacher::class);
case 2:
return $this->belongsTo(Student::class);
default:
dd($this->id);
}
}

@wilk_randall good answer, I can do this for shared relations, but each model has its own additional relations.

@mbasfour you can have specific role relationships by using the implementation I suggested above.

@FlorinFratica I implemented the code? how to make the user model use a Teacher model instance to get its relations after the user logs in?
Level 1
@mbasfour You would have to create the Teacher instance. Something like this:
if (auth()->user()->is_teacher) {
$user = Teacher::find(auth()->id());
dump($user->teacherSpecificRelationship);
}
