help for profile implementation

Hi friends,

I'd like to ask for advice in a small application I'm working.
My job is to create an application with two profiles, administrator and user. For the implementation, my idea is to do a controller for each profile, and in the controller's constructor set a stop and allow entry only if the user has the correct profile.

The code is the following:

PHP Code:

class Administrator extends CI_Controller {
  
  public function __construct(){
    ...
    if($_SESSION['profile'] != 'admin'){
        $this->load->view('error');
        $this->output->_display();
        exit;
    }
  }
} 


What do you think? 
With gratitude,
Daniel

For one you are going to need an auth system to handle users.

You could then create a database profile table according to
the users id for look ups.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
