As for getting access to the users current role thats pretty simple as a service. We do personalization of features in many of our applications (including LifeCoach for example, a MAX award finalist) by having services return enabled, disabled, and skinned features.

We do this religously. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.
