Symfony2 application architecture

I want to actually implement two applications.

  1. Application (server 1)

A management application to manage users and buildings. CRUD Controller for users, roles and buildings. To use this application an login is required. Analyse answers / results from questionnaires which will be filled in appplication 2.

  1. Application (server 2)

    • Login with the user names which will be created in application one
    • Document Exchange bundle. Users can share documents
    • Questionnaire bundle, users can create questionnaire
    • Other users filling of questionnaires

Not every user can use every bundle in application 2. Only users with specified roles can use a bundle, the user roles will be defined in application 1.

I need an idea how I could realize the data exchange in such a case? Because application 2 require the user, roles from database of the first application. In the ideal case, I do not want data redundancy.

The first application i implement in symfony2 and i'm not sure whether to share a good idea the applications or is it better idea to integrate the bundles from application 2 in application one?

Can someone give me tips?

Is a must to have 2 different APPs? - M. Foti
No it is not a must have. Only an initial idea for the maintainability in the future. But maybe the maintainability in one APP and different bundles is also good, i have not an experience in this case which is the better way. Do you recommend one APP? - smartcoderx
uhm there isn't the right answer in this cases, I write the simple solution to manage access. - M. Foti

The easier solution could be done with the use of one App. The Security Component of Symfony2 can manage different roles and access to specific action or bundle. Moreover you can use JMSSecurityExtraBundle Annotations to simpler your work.
