Well there's got to be some tie-in between the user's role and the GUI - there's got to be some conditional logic at some level of granularity. If there are simply too many items to show/hide, you could have two different versions of a view which would be role-dependent. Modules could be a way to go there. That way you're not trying to make all your conditional view logic into some kind of spagetti-code. The line of demarcation would be when it is too crazy to try to alter a single view to suit multiple roles.

Is there any better way? I mean to say that if we have method somewhere in UI custom class which derives from Flex framework class which gives me the roles.So i do not need to "visible={"User.isUserInRole()" everywhere. As every component will derives from our custom class we can get rid of visible... statement.
