Basic user class

You are right. What I meant to describe was the way normal PHP session works: it is stored in files and loaded to memory on demand.

Session library is not what I want, because it exposes user data into the cookie, and because it keeps you logged after you close the browser window.

But what I want to do is a centralized way to control permissions. Does CI have a permissions library?
