I want to create this.

session_start();

$_SESSION['access'] = $access;

I believe I have the second part down.

Am I right in thinking that this will set the session 'access'?

$this->session->userdata('access') = $access;

If that is right, is session_start on by default?

CI sessions are different to standard PHP sessions.

When using CI sessions you will not need to use session_start, but you will have to load or autoload the session Library.

you'd use this to set a CI session var
Code:
$this->session->set_userdata('access',$access)
and this to read it back
Code:
$access = $this->session->userdata('access')
