Multiple user types and database design

Post by arpowers »

Hey guys,
The project I'm working on has 4 different types of users with differing levels of rights on the site.

I know this must be a common problem, but how are databases designed to keep track of multiple users and are there any special ways of keeping track of user type across your pages using the session.?

thanks
