Create Two Separate User Groups

swmckay 11 Aug, 2014
Hello,

I am looking to build two separate user tables in the DB. Let's say Users1 and Users2. My specific goal is for Users1 and Users2 to have their own separate tables in the DB (or separate DBs if necessary) from registration to login to username/password resets.

Essentially, User1 signs up at one landing page and User2 signs up on a second landing page and both users have access to their own pages. I have created all the pages and forms needed but haven't figured out how to separate the registration/login at the db level and to make sure the forgot username/password functions would go to their respective tables.

I know we have the DB Save function but not quite sure how to use it so the two user groups never mingle in the tables.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi,

This is not a good idea, you should set the users to 2 user groups, Joomla supports this, you can assign the registered users to different groups and use the permissions system to control what each group can access.
