Given the simplicity of the data, and no forseen future requirements to maintain it as a seperate entity, we propose to use Approach 2.

Approach 3

Store the user-types available in user-profile configuration.

Pros

• Flexible per installation - one can have different user-types - different display-names

Cons

• Difficult to apply business logic based on user-types.
• Difficult to maintain - if someone changes user-types list, especially remove existing value can become a problem for data-consistency.
