Does CI Wiz support CodeIgniter Shield for authentication?

Yes. CI Wiz 3.x introduced CodeIgniter Shield as the supported authentication option. When you choose Shield during project setup, CI Wiz generates the full Shield configuration including the auth tables migration, login and registration views, the auth filter, and route protection. The generated Shield integration uses email+password identity (`email_password` type in `auth_identities`) and supports role-based access via `auth_groups_users`. The superadmin group is pre-configured. CI Wiz does not currently generate a user management UI out of the box — that is left to you or a separate module you add manually.
