iCreativa User Authentication Suite.

This suite provides you with very fast, secure and easy to use, authentication components that you can use to protect your website.

Auth Suite implements three methods of user authentication. The first one simply allows or denys access to protected pages by checking a user account on a database. The second way allows you to group your users, that way you can control wich group can access an important part of your site (like the administration application) and wich group can't. And finaly the third method allows to mantain a list of "roles" that a user is able to execute by groups.

If you want to learn more about Auth Suite you can read the FAQ, the INSTALL.html file, see the examples (Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3) and read the API Documentation.

Wishlist:

1. Implement a TimeControl system so some users can login only at certain times of the day.

3. Implement a new requireRoles() method that will check what roles are accepted for each group. done in 2.4
4. Get rid of the last_login field and the UPDATE statement to reduce the number of queries. done in 2.2
