hi 1. you can use existaing tables, see userModel and fields Auth variables 2. ACL not needed if you just do authentication. If you need authorization too, you can use ACL or whatever else 3. Auth is a somewhat wrapper for authentication and authorization. The last part can be done by ACL. But ACL has is own life, maybe you should read more on cookbook and API.
