CodeIgniters sessions http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...sions.html
appear to be very robust. I am currently studying more into security, you can tell I'm a newbie.

My current understanding is - if you can securely identify a user upon login, you can issue them a codeigniter session with a custom feild - a user_id or anything to identify them. Then build a small application to administer roles and permissions, ad call it every cms page load to determine what course to take.

I actually just saw a tutorial where someone downloads md5.js to the client and encrypts the form data - an interesting idea (I found it on goodphptutorials.com when searching for the string 'security'). So perhaps thats an alternative to using HTTPS, which I hope to start learning soon.

I'm really happy I started using codeigniter.
