How can I use CodeIgniter ACL library?

Question

How can I implement an ACL library? What is the best way for using ACL for user roles? In standard PHP, I'd write code like this:

if (userTypeId == 'Admin') {
  hello Admin
} else if (userTypeId == 'Member') {
   hello member
}

How would you do this using CodeIgniter?

Please use Ion Auth library and `in_group` function for ACL (http://benedmunds.com/ion_auth/#in_group), it lightweight Auth library — Girish, Jan 18 '14 at 15:37

You can start working with Bonfire for ACL with codeigniter.

It is a ready to use Codeigniter framework with some additional functionalities. It contains User registration, authentication, and Role-Base Access Control....

My preference on this is to pull in one of the Zend Framework modules. I've used ACL for probably 10+ years and it seems to be very rock solid:

https://framework.zend.com/manual/2.4/en/modules/zend.permissions.acl.intro.html

The newer version is Laminas ACL: https://docs.laminas.dev/laminas-permissions-acl/usage/

Yes you'll need to build a Library/Interface to the files but it is worth it.

How can I use CodeIgniter ACL library?
