How to control access? #6

Should there be an access control before end user is able to get the needed guide, and how do we implement it? We could get the user to enter a common password which the bot will add the user into a sort of list of authorised users before granting access to the guide. Thus, the bot will provide guides immediately the next time the user interact with the bot.

Alternatively, we could have a two-tier access. The user can simply access the guides in the first tier without password, but the guides in this tier don't have any confidential data. On the other hand, the user need to enter a password to access the other tier where the guides there may contain confidential data. This is to be further discussed.
