What I do is have different classes that build upon each other,


authentication & permissions class,
common database access extending PEAR DB.

then i have a custom class for specific actions like editing pages, my
database is just either either an email or username and password then
another table has permission levels in, permissions for every user are
defined in their DB table in a comma seperated list, that way i can
create many groups and have a user belong many groups, then page editng
for instance can be restricted to specific users or groups, I designed
it all to be flexible enough to reuse for all my websites I hope :)



Regards,
James
