    Hi,

    I have an area on our website which members can log in to.

    At the moment I'm using htaccess on each directory but this is causing issues.

    What I want is the user to login and then have access to certain areas... but have access control.

    I have this at the moment, but it means that everytime you get to a new directory, you have to type in your details again. (am I making any sense?!)

    Is there any software that I can use to control access to different areas so that if a member logs in, they can access some of the areas - but if an admin logs in, they can access all the areas - and then if a moderator logs in, they can access a few more of the areas than the members can???

    Please help me - I'm searching and searching but not finding anything.

    Oh - one last thing... I can't justify spending any money on this!

    why is htaccess causing issues? If anything it's the simplestAb and most reliable way to limit access.

    Are you using

    require valid user
    require group xxx
    require xxx
    Code (markup):
    Post the .htaccess file you are using.
