UPDATE: A quick note from Helgi ?rmar, one of the LiveUser maintainers – apparently the tutorial below is out of date, so while it may serve as an interest point to get to know the software, it is not accurate with regards to the current version.

Thanks to Werner for pointing out this tutorial which takes you through the basics of getting setup with LiveUser, PEAR’s user authentication and permission management framework.
