Did you get Hal's newsletter with his book preview on user permissions.
This is applicable if one user can have several permissions (or belong to
multiple groups). http://www.teamallaire.com/newsletters/JulyNewsletter.cfm

Subject: Re: Role-based access
<snip>
Does anyone know if CF has any built-in modules for user or role-based
access to a website. I'm looking for some kind of login system where I can
restrict access to certain areas based on either the user or a group they
belong to. Thanks in advance for any responses.

Joseph,
We implemented a group-level security on a recent application. This
is how we did it - in the Users table we have a DepartmentID column. On the
verify.cfm page, if the user login is successful, we set a bunch of session
variables including <cfset Session.DepartmentID =
Authenticate.DepartmentID>. Then, we use <cfif DepartmentID EQ "{Department
or Department List}"> tags to restrict what is seen or accessed based on
department. If that does not make sense, email me off list and I will
explain further. Thanks!
