As a newbie a good while back and made controllers to handle things like this, you will find you run into lots of problems when trying to deal with other controllers, the controller itself may become very large. For Administration research prefixes. In any controller create "function admin_action() { ... }" instead of function action() { } to make it a part of the admin side of things. You can also take advantage of ACL Have a users controller and users table, then using ACL (and possibly a table such as user_groups), you can give users different levels of access: 1. User 2. Client 3.
