I wonder what is the best way to manage users in a home-structured CMS. Important feature that needs to be include is obviously security.

I heard about UserCake and it seems to be a fair idea.

The questions is: should I make it myself or should I use a user script already made?

Answer 1

If the library fits your need, use it.

If the library almost fits your need, consider cloning it and make the minor changes to it [and providing a pull request, if your additions are worth].

If desired feature is part of you business core [i.e. you want to make money out of it], consider rewriting it from scratch.

But for such a feature, I would go for an existing tool - Symfony does the same with FOSUserBundle for example.
