title: Authlogic, multiple user types and multiple relations between the same models
body: <p>Good morning,</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage this user situation I've got.</p>
  
  <p>I have users and affiliates.  There is already a HABTM relationship between the two of them, because users can sign up for affiliates, and affiliates can reach out and touch users, in order to get various data points.</p>
  
  <p>Now I need to set up a new Authlogic user type, let's call them affiliate managers, to <em>manage</em> affiliates.  Each affiliate manager can only manage one affiliate, and they should not be counted in the affiliate's user count.</p>
  
  <p>Our app is already using Authlogic to separate regular users and admins, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around how I would build in this latest piece: specifically the relationship between the affiliate and the manager.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
