How to split the user table correctly?

Good afternoon, tell me
how to make it more correct:
if there are three types of Users and they have completely different functions and, most importantly, a different service interface
(i.e. different registration / profile / main menu / etc.),
but some basic properties are the same, such as,
(settings / roles / invitations /review/comments/etc)
How to properly model the database in this case?
Thanks in advance
s/s
this is not about the admin/user

@znack2

found the right solution to my problem
richardbagshaw.co.uk/laravel-user-types-and-polymo...
this is in particular for laravel but I think that it is possible to apply in raw php
the essence is that there is one table Users and several tables User_Users / User_sellers
in the main table have user_type and user_id as foreign keys to additional tables

If there are minor differences, then one table, column - type - work wonders based on the type, if the changes are significant - then one table with general data + type and auxiliary tables for each type (unless, of course, the number of types is not 100500)

Add boolean fields to the User model: is_admin, is_user, is_chert_lisiy. Normal actions will be common to all users, and for special actions, just control these fields. This, among other things, will allow you to easily change the type of user.
