I've used this approach, but I've liked using structures of roles more
than arrays. It lets me do a userIsInRole(string rolename) method
that just returns structKeyExists(variables.instance.roles,
"employee"). I was wondering what you thought of this approach?
Thanks,
Joe

The "classic" solution is to have a Role CFC that is extended as
Employee, Faculty and Student (three CFCs) and then User "has a" array
of Role objects.
So:
Employee is-a Role
Faculty is-a Role
Student is-a Role
and
User has-a Role array
