Authorization Question

[eluser]Jesse Schutt[/eluser]
I'm not too sure how to ask this question, so here goes!

I am currently working on a backend/dashboard that I want to protect with a username/password login. Only a few people will need to access this area. Several of the auth systems I have looked at seem to be way more than I need. For example, I don't need to have the ability to register users through the site, so I don't want to spend the effort in that area yet.

Can you explain in plain english how this should work?

Thanks Much!

Jesse
