Symfony5 How to create multiple types of users with different login forms

Question

I started learning Symfony and already know how to create a user and registration / login forms for him using php bin/console make:user php bin/console make:auth, but I need to have several types of users like Client, Company, Admin and what if I try go to example.com/company, we were thrown to the login window for the Company account (I’m now thrown to the login form for the User).

After searching I found these questions Symfony / Doctrine - Multiple Users Types and Symfony: Firewalls, multiple login forms, but I did not understand what to do next and how to combine them. Please tell me.

I think better solution for You will be using roles to determine them ;)

You can have one entity and make some getters like:

public function isAdmin():bool
{
    return in_array(self::ROLE_ADMIN, $this->roles, true);
}

And if you want split roles to different path prefixes you can have one firewall eg: app that matches all your application and next make correct access_controll rules like this:

  access_control:
    - { path: ^/, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
    - { path: ^/admin, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
    - { path: ^/company, roles: ROLE_CLIENT }

And are You sure company is another user class or permission? Maybe better assign admin to company and allow them to access this companies? ;)

If you realy want to split them you could use doctrine discriminator, eg. create Abstract user and next 3 classes extending them, you can configure security using that abstract class.

Or create 3 providers, 3 firewalls, and same access_controll like above
