Answer 1

I was searching on net how to add a multi level user authentication system I find a solution I am using blog example as full code and in login system I added this code :

 public function login()
 if ($this->request->is('post')) {
    $user = $this->Auth->identify();
    if ($user['role'] === 'admin') {
        $this->Auth->setUser($user);
        return $this->redirect(['controller' => 'articles']);
    } 
    else if ($user['role'] === 'author'){
         $this->Auth->setUser($user);
        return $this->redirect(['action' => 'login' ,'controller' => 'users']);
    }
    $this->Flash->error(__('Invalid username or password, try again'));
}
}

This is a very simple solution I have just added few lines of code
