Re: [plum] Adding Role

[Stephen Ansari]

Does anyone else solve coding problems in their dreams ?   From time to time, i actually come up with solutions to my troubles while sleeping.  The question then arises: is this time billable.   ---stephen     ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 4:26 PM Subject: [plum] Adding Role I have certain processes that automatically add roles to users.  I realize that PLUM stores the user's roles in the DB and in the persistent scope, and Coldfusion stores them in the mysterious cflogin vars.  So i created a CFC to do all three: add roles to plumUserRole, modify the persistent scope and update roles via cfloginuser to inform CF of the new roles.  In theory, this would give access to new modules (with new roles) and the user would not have to log out and log in.  But here's my catch: as soon as the user comes across another cflogin, (e.g, in cf_authorize), zippo go my new roles and authorization is denied.  And why is there no cflogin variable called GetAuthUserRoles.  Need sanity check.   --- too far in to see any light.
