Hi,

The system default setting only 1 and 2 which are admin and guest, i wanted to add one more user role, which is super admin = 3.

On the page top menu, i’ill hide setting icon and all related setting pages, if the user login as super admin, he can use all system module, see the setting icon and access all setting page, if the user login as admin, he only can use the system module.

So the way i did are check the user_type on session.php, if the user login and the type are 1=admin or 3=super admin redirect to dasboard

if ($this->session->userdata('user_type') == 1 || ($this->session->userdata('user_type') == 3 ) {
                            redirect('dashboard');
                        } elseif ($this->session->userdata('user_type') == 2) {
                            redirect('guest');
                        }

and i will check the session user_type on main menu and setting page.

if ( $this->session->userdata(‘user_type’) == 3 ){
show setting icon and setting page
}

sorry for my poor english. hope you understand what i trying to say.

User roles should be implemented. As administrator you don’t want regular employees changing system and user settings.
Basically a module that assigns a user id and level that is checked on each built in module so the administrator can give access to employees to items that the administrator assigns. For example you don’t want regular employees to take payments or modify invoices you would uncheck those modules in the user roles that only the administrator can access.
