MapServer has no built in support for securing data by users. If your
needs are not too complicated then it should be easy to implement
map-level security in your PHP and JavaScript application code. If you
have more advanced users/roles requirements then you may want to have a
look at http://geoprisma.org/
Actually, I see that geoprisma.org seems quite slow today. You could
also have a look at the following demo page which also includes a short
intro to GeoPrisma under the [About GeoPrisma] tab:

What are the best practices when relating application data to MapServer
data? If I have a database of users, and each user owns a specific map,
what is the best way (also secure of course) of calling those maps (I'm
assuming the .map files are the ones needed) that a specific user is
related to? Given that:
- Tom has map of his real estate
- Mark has map of his farm
- Web app is a PHP app that uses OpenLayers as an interface to call
MapServer
How do I manage restrictions, i.e. security?
