Use Perch_members for accessing admin

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the perch_members app to grant users access to the admin page? I would like to have all users in the one table so that I can grant or deny access with the tick of a box. This would then be used for other restricted pages on my website.

Thanks.

No, for security reasons they're two very different systems.

Ok, I completely understand that. Is there no way that I could achieve this - taking all security responsibility in my own head.

No because they are separate systems, there is no relationship.

Ok. So it's not possible to change the table used when checking login credentials? Could I not add all members through the admin section and add a checkbox to decide whether admin or not?

There are authentication plugins that enable you to write your authentication system.

Awesome. Could you point me in the right direction?
