I am looking for suggestions on a user authorization method.

Basically, I have multiple users with various different access levels thourghout the 
application.  Some can get into some places while others can't, and even some can get 
in everywhere.

There are basically 20 different location restrictions.  My question would be what 
would be the best way/practice to tackle this.

Here is what I have come up with (but think it's a bit cumbersome).

Setup table with the 20 different access columns (editor,admin,colors,settings,gifts 
ect...) and give them a 1 or 0

Then when the user logs in build a struct with the access levels and check the struct 
for that access level (1) when entering a page if 0, send them away to the beggining.

Seems a bit cumbersome ... so I am looking for alternatives.

Any thoughts?

I appreciate your input
