Role Not Detected During Type Generation

The way they sign up must be different (different sign-up forms). For example admins usually must be invited by other admins, most cases this means they sign up as a normal user and another existing admin would change their role using code.

Alright, then I’ll do it this way. Actually, I have both influencer and company—they are just regular users on my website. Admin is the person who manages everything. So I’ll just change the role name to something else so they don’t conflict.
