Separate users from administrators

[JulianAtkins]

First of all, a big thank you to everyone involved in the Shield project, thank you for all your work!

The problem

At work, I can't use Shield because it uses the same SQL table to store users and administrators.

Why

Due to various security protocols and PCI certification.

The solution

Administrators must be stored, at a minimum, in a separate table and if possible at a separate database with different credentials.

Is this something the Shild project would be interested to implement?

Thank you.

Hello.
At the moment, there are no official plans to add this feature as a built-in capability in CodeIgniter Shield. So far, there hasn’t been significant or consistent demand from the community specifically requesting native support for separating users and administrators into different tables or databases.

That said, this could evolve in the future depending on organizational needs, community feedback, and the overall direction of the project. It’s something that may be reconsidered as requirements grow and new use cases emerge.
