I am considering adding user accounts to my site. The accounts will be managed in PHP and MySQL.

I am confused if I should implement a permissions systems at all. The aim of the user accounts is to personalize a person's experience on my site, give them a place to have a "favorites" list, etc...

Is there any reason to implement a permissions system? If I give someone an account in MySQL and PHP, will they be able to edit or delete files on my site unless I institute a permissions system for groups of users?

Thanks,

Matt
