Can anybody point me to an object oriented approach to security?  I am looking to implement a role based security approach on a new application in which I am using an object oriented model developed with CFCs and a controller/view developed using FuseBox 4.
 
I have two general questions with this approach.  First, CFCs and specifically <cffunction tags have the roles security attribute.  Utilizing this appears to require setting up security using the <cflogin etc. tags.  This is not a problem with the exception that all of the examples I can find are showing these tags utilized in a typical procedural fashion.  This leans me into the second question ... which objects know about security and how to manage it?  Does a document know how to determine which users have what level of access to it or does a user object know all of the permissions that user has?  At what level to methods like authentication and authorization come into play?
 
Does anybody have a real obvious explanation on setting this up or know of any examples/articles I can go look at?
 
Thanks
