Good points in favor of Roles James.
To extend M!ke's previous cftry/cfcatch example for handling roles, what
happens when many roles exist - maybe 5, 10 or 100... Does people's code
actually end up looking like this:
<!--- admins --->
<cftry>
<cfset result = myAdminFunc()>
<cfcatch type="any">
<!--- power users --->
<cftry>
<cfset result = myAdminFunc()>
<cfcatch type="any">
<!--- users --->
<cftry>
<cfset result = myAdminFunc()>
<cfcatch type="any">
<!--- guests --->
<cftry>
<cfset result = myAdminFunc()>
<!--- anonymous --->
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfset result = myNormalFunc()>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
Cheers,
Baz

They are great when sharing a CFC with another developer. They add a
level of self-documentation and prevent someone who doesn't read
documentation from incorrectly providing people access to the wrong
things. It'a about keeping the CFC self-contained and ensuring the
integrity of the app in the business logic rather than hoping the
developer gets it right in the interface logic or elsewhere.
