How can I use CodeIgniter ACL library?

Question

How can I implement an ACL library? What is the best way for using ACL for user roles? In standard PHP, I'd write code like this:

if (userTypeId == 'Admin') {
  hello Admin
} else if (userTypeId == 'Member') {
   hello member
}

How would you do this using CodeIgniter?
