If your "team" of users is already set up, make sure that you have $auth_signup = 0; in your .cfg file. Then link to the login page. Those who don't have a username and password will not be able to log in. Those that do, will be able to log in.

You might want to say something on your login page about the fact that only certain people have login privileges.

Also, have a link for default users to go to, both on your login page and elsewhere on your site. On the login page (within the html.pl file) you would use

Code:
<a href="$db_script_url?db=default&uid=default">Visitors' access</a>
on any .html pages elsewhere on your site, use

Code:
<a href="http://url/to/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default">Visitors' access</a>
