building Role based application

I have to make a small website

where I have 7 type of users. which can login into system.

some of users have permissions to only add equipments and others can add/edit. some of them can only view.

There will be some common fields for all users adding equipments in system and some fields will be user specific.

I have to track all changes in equipments with user changing equipments.

Can any one explain what will be best way to do this job.

Way in 开发者_Go百科the sense table structure for users and tracking changes in equipments and users tracking for both login and what changes done by them.

Am using php and mysql database.

I don't want to go for CMS,Frameworks. It's a small application.

It sounds like you are going to need a role-based access control system. Developing one is not really a trivial task, so as already suggested, finding a framework or ready-made class that does the job would be a worthwhile start.

However, there's plenty of information out there on how to create one. Here's a few links to get you started:

A search for PHP RBAC will no doubt reveal many more.
