Newbite Correct Site Structure Set Up Question

[eluser]opel[/eluser]
Hi I'm new to Code Ignite and still working through 1st few tutorials. I plan to make a small CMS system and want to check my plan for setting up my CI structure is correct.

Usually when I create dynamic sites I have an admin directory that is secured by user login system. The database structure is then fed out to the public pages as usual.

Using CI's MVC would I create an "admin" controller with admin views for adding news, adding links etc. Then controllers/views for the public sections ?
