You could just store this extra info in a seperate struct when logged in using cflogin etc? That way you have what you built with an inbuilt ColdFusion function.

But if you want to have a bit more control over some aspects, or you want to have more than just a username and a role as belonging to the logged-in user, you have to have other database accesses somewhere along the line. Thats why in this case I wanted to have a user bean in teh session scope. That way i could have the user's name appearing in some places, forms being pre-filled in, and items that have been changed since the user's last login highlighted very simply just using a getter method on the user bean. Since i was going to have a user bean anyway, I decided to make it into a full-on authentication system. The user submits a login form (userlogin and userpassword) and after the UserAccess.cfc does it's thing, the end result is byebye user or hello! and a fully populated user bean to use anywhere around the site. But to answer your question, yes the CFLOGIN framework does the trick, but is limited in the user details that are stored. If all you want to access throughout the site is the username, userpassword and their role, you need nothing more.
