Answer 1

Generally speaking, an Admin Module shouldn’t hold business-logic for other modules. Imagine following scenario:

/userModule
  - addAction
  - editAction
  - deleteAction
  - viewAction
  - indexAction

/blogModule
  - sameActions

Now this makes sense. Every Module can live on its own and there are no hidden dependencies. Now if you want to implement an admin module, it would simply gather information from those modules and provice Access-Control to the actions.

So basically all that your Admin-Module should do is:

• provide a visual representation of routes to the administrative features of your other Modules
• provide ACL or RBAC functionality

But all logic and even the view-scripts should remain inside each representative Modules
