How to differentiate between admin and customers?

Laravel framework version: 10.18.0
Aimeos Laravel version: 2023.07
PHP Version: 8.2.8
Environment: Linux

How can I differentiate users added via `php artisan aimeos:account --admin test@example.com` and users added via 'Customer Manager'. I went through the users table. It was not able to find a column which can help me differentiate if the users is admin or customer. I was also not able to find any relational table for this information.

Super users contain a flag in the "superuser" column of the "users" table. "admin" and "editor" accounts contain the corresponding group attached via the "users_list" table.

Thank you.

Further, how can I differentiate if a user is customer, since aimeos-laravel uses same table both for customers and admins?

If a user does not have super-admin flag and does not have an entry in corresponding users-list table, then he should be a customer. Is this approach correct or is there some other way to identify customers?

If they have no entry for domain "customer/groups" (or "groups" in dev-master) that relates to the "admin" or "editor" record in the mshop_customer_group table (or mshop_group in dev-master). They can have additional groups assigned but only "admin" and "editor" groups are allowed to access the admin backend.

Thank you for clarification.
