Does Any one has and idea how to use applicants table (for example) instead of users table with laravel sanctum?

I tried adding this to auth.php but it didn’t work

   'guards' => [
        'web' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],
        'api' => [
            'driver' => 'sanctum',
            'provider' => 'applicant',
        ],
    ],

'providers' => [
       'users' => [
           'driver' => 'eloquent',
           'model' => env('AUTH_MODEL', AppModelsUser::class),
       ],

       'applicants' => [
           'driver' => 'eloquent',
           'model' => env('AUTH_MODEL', AppModelsAPIApplicant::class),
       ],
   ],
