Paul, Hal Helms wrote an article a couple of years ago that was very helpful to us when we were trying to come up with a access plan. It is geared toward fusebox, but we were able to modify it without much trouble. The article is still available at:

Basically, I have multiple users with various different access levels thourghout the application. Some can get into some places while others can't, and even some can get in everywhere. There are basically 20 different location restrictions. My question would be what would be the best way/practice to tackle this. Here is what I have come up with (but think it's a bit cumbersome). Setup table with the 20 different access columns (editor,admin,colors,settings,gifts ect...) and give them a 1 or 0 Then when the user logs in build a struct with the access levels and check the struct for that access level (1) when entering a page if 0, send them away to the beggining. Seems a bit cumbersome ... so I am looking for alternatives. Any thoughts? I appreciate your input Paul Giesenhagen QuillDesign ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
