Inheriting from an ActiveRecord Object

Question

Suppose there is an activerecord class called a user, which is a representative of the database user table.

But I have different types of users who have

• special functions
• special variables
• user relations (employer has_many company, Employee belongs to the company :)

But these users also have a lot in common. Therefore, I want to create classes for each type of user, and then inherit them from the user class.

• User <ActiveRecord :: Base
• Employer <User
• Employee <User
• Client <User

What is the best way to do something like this?

thank
