Re: [plum] Adding Role

[Aaron Longnion - hotmail]

sadly, I do too Stephen... lol.  Actually, I think I rarely "solve" any of those very tough, complex problems when it's fresh in my mind and I'm "trying" with all my brain-power (a limited thing in my case).  I leave those kinds of problems to my off-hour nerd goblins to send me in an unexpected package later, which as you say sometimes show up in dreams...  My subconcience (or whatever you call it) seems more intelligent in my case than my cognitive abilities on those mind-bending, headache-causing, cluster-f*** type issues.  I digress, and I'd like to hear what others do in these cases...?   peace, Aaron   ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Ansari To: plum@mail.productivityenhancement.com Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 11:41 AM Subject: Re: [plum] Adding Role 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.
