Using grants and privileges in MySQL

I am creating a simple application that is going to be database driven. I have read documentation on MySQL and PHP and have decided to run with those two. In the process of reading books on the two subjects I've come to find out that MySQL has its own security capabilities.

What I am trying decide on is if I should create my own tables that store and authenticate registered users or if I should rely on passing all that information on to MySQL to handle that. As this is the first database driven website that I am building, I am not all that knowledgable about how to properly intergrate my authentication system with that of the security system set up in MySQL. As with any database driven website you have to grant certain privileges to registered users, but I don't want to allow the registered user to just be able to reak havic on my database (I understand that some how and some way somebody will figure out how to hack it if they want) because I didn't off load the more complex aspects of authentication and security to the tried and tested capabilities of the MySQL security system.

Thank You
