Well, my question is this, I have implemented a login system using the fantastic Ion Auth library, which brings with it multiple options, including an administrator panel to create administrators, groups or non-administrator users within of those groups. What I want to achieve is that from outside the logeo system I can create users (not administrators) so that users can create their own accounts and enter the application (these users can not access the administrator's functions).
The fact is that when I try to go directly to create a user by calling the function create_user (), it redirects me to the login without letting me create it.
The function
// create a new user
public function create_user() {
$this->data['title'] = $this->lang->line('create_user_heading');
if (!$this->ion_auth->logged_in() || !$this->ion_auth->is_admin()) {
redirect('auth', 'refresh');
}
$tables = $this->config->item('tables', 'ion_auth');
$identity_column = $this->config->item('identity', 'ion_auth');
$this->data['identity_column'] = $identity_column;
// validate form input
$this->form_validation->set_rules('first_name', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_fname_label'), 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('last_name', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_lname_label'), 'required');
if ($identity_column !== 'email') {
$this->form_validation->set_rules('identity', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_identity_label'), 'required|is_unique[' . $tables['users'] . '.' . $identity_column . ']');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_email_label'), 'required|valid_email');
} else {
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_email_label'), 'required|valid_email|is_unique[' . $tables['users'] . '.email]');
}
$this->form_validation->set_rules('phone', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_phone_label'), 'trim');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('company', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_company_label'), 'trim');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_password_label'), 'required|min_length[' . $this->config->item('min_password_length', 'ion_auth') . ']|max_length[' . $this->config->item('max_password_length', 'ion_auth') . ']|matches[password_confirm]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password_confirm', $this->lang->line('create_user_validation_password_confirm_label'), 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == true) {
$email = strtolower($this->input->post('email'));
$identity = ($identity_column === 'email') ? $email : $this->input->post('identity');
$password = $this->input->post('password');
$additional_data = array(
'first_name' => $this->input->post('first_name'),
'last_name' => $this->input->post('last_name'),

'phone' => $this->input->post('phone'),

}
if ($this->form_validation->run() == true && $this->ion_auth->register($identity, $password, $email, $additional_data)) {
// check to see if we are creating the user
// redirect them back to the admin page
$this->session->set_flashdata('message', $this->ion_auth->messages());
redirect("auth", 'refresh');
} else {
// display the create user form
// set the flash data error message if there is one
$this->data['message'] = (validation_errors() ? validation_errors() : ($this->ion_auth->errors() ? $this->ion_auth->errors() : $this->session->flashdata('message')));
