Sort of. If you wanted a global custom tag directory other than
\Cfusion\customtags. Then yes you would need access to the CFAS
administrator. (you'd need to be able to add tags to the customtags
directory for that also.
Otherwise........
You can leave the tags in the same directory as the calling template or use
CFModule. The mappings work like this
root
actions
blocks
customtags
queryies
images
etc
in app_server I'd have something like
<cfscript>
request.cfroot = "/myapp";
request.webroot ="/";
request.imgroot="/images";
request.custom="#request.cfroot#/customtags#";
</cfscript>
They're not there to be true mappings, they're there to make migrating from
the dev box to a production box much easier.
