[2005] Stupid Login Question [Resolved]

[asekga]

I'm sure this question is either so obvious it doesn't deserve asking, or has already been asked before, but I couldn't find it from searching, sorry.

I am planning to make an application with 3 user types; basic user, super user and admin.

From the login page (the first form to be displayed) the user will be presented with 2 text boxes for username and password. Depending on the usertype attached to the username will define which type of user they are.

Each user will be presented with a different version of the same page upon login, each having the same basic view (a tree view on the left, and a list view on the right) but with different options available depending on the user type.

My question is, other than using something like the factory method (which I only have a basic understanding of) is there any simple way to use the same form, but have it present the different views depending on user type, or would it be best to have 3 different forms, and for the application to point to a different form depending on user type?

Thanks for any help
