When your user is authenticated in Flex, then retrieve his info and roles and store it in a global variable that u can use from anywhere in your app. For people using Cairngorm (and you might not) this will look like so: ModelLocator.getInstance().user = someUserInstance; Since the ModelLocator is a singleton you can access from anywhere in the app to display user info or check his/her roles to see if he/she has access to something or not.

We need to be able to track a user once they are logged into the system. Security in our app is critical and every post needs to be validated. IN our current web app we simply had a string added to the end of each url that tracked the users session. What is the best way to handle this in flex?? We need to know and track session validity, timeout, logout and prvilages to modules and features. thanks.
