Pretty much.
I've personally never used CFLOGIN, but my own security system is similar.
I create a list of approved roles in each user's session scope and use UDFs
to deal with it. You can do the same thing with "IsUserInRole()"
So instead of really clunky CFIFs you end up with a little more streamlined
CFIFs:
<cfif IsUSerInRole("Admin")>
<h2>Administrator Functions: </h2>
</cfif>
<cfif IsUSerInRole("Facilities")>
<h2>Facilities Functions: </h2>
</cfif>
This is actually a bit more flexible than CFSWITCH in any case as a user can
be in more than one role (I'm not sure if that's possible in your situation,
but using CFIF it's technically simpler - CFSWITCH would stop at the first
match).
