CodeIgniter-ACL

Usage

$this->load->library('acl_auth');

Register a user

$data = array( 'name' => 'testuser', 'password' => 'testpassword', 'extra_field' => 'value' );
$success = $this->acl_auth->register( $data );

Login

// Simple login
$success = $this->acl_auth->login( $user, $password );

// This logs the user in and writes user_name, user_email and user_phone into session. Also sets a cookie to remember the user.
$remember = TRUE;
$session_data = array('name', 'email', 'phone');
$success = $this->acl_auth->login( $user, $password, $remember, $session_data );

Logout

$success = $this->acl_auth->logout();

Restrict a controller or method for users having a role

class Test extends CI_Controller
{
	function __construct()
	{
		parent::__construct();

		// only allow users with 'admin' role to access all methods in this controller
		$this->acl_auth->restrict_access('admin');
	}
}
