Two or more identityClass models

[usualdesigner]

Is there way to use two or more identityClass for sign-in? I have three very different models (User, Manager, Member) and can I use all of these models as identityClass?

Nope, only a single identity class is supported. You should consider extending your different model classes from the common base identity class.

Is it a good idea to extend base User Model and use three table for each model and mysql view for base User model? What is your view?

Each of these models has too many different fields and i would not want to store all different data in one table. My idea is create mysql view table with base fields (username, password_hash etc.).

Or it's have no sense and store all data in one table is good solution?

It's totally fine that you have different kinds of user models which are stored in different tables or databases. However, if you want to support authentication using all these models, you should provide some common interface for them and have a way to differentiate them (e.g. introducing a user type).

You may implement an identity class which creates different user models based on the given type information.

As suggested, you should have a class user and then three classes one for each kind of user, related to user class with a user_Id field, for example
