RE: isUserInRole takes multiple roles?
It can take a list, but it works as an AND (the user needs ALL the roles in the list). If you want OR, there was a simple IsUserInAnyRole() UDF by Raymond Camden I believe. Pascal -Original Message- From: Alex Sherwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 February 2005 14:54 To: CF-Talk Subject: isUserInRole takes multiple roles? Question: Does the inUserInRole() function take a list of roles or a single role? The Complete ColdFusionMX Reference has an example where multiple roles are passed in, but I cannot get it to work. I find it hard to believe that they would publish an example that would be incorrect (an not due to a typo).

Re: isUserInRole takes multiple roles?
It's doubly confusing because the ROLES attribute of CFFUNCTION works in the reverse way. IsUserInRole does an AND to check for ALL roles, while CFFUNCTION does an OR to check for ANY role. cheers, barneyb On Wed, 2 Feb 2005 07:38:38 -0800, Sean Corfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, 02 Feb 2005 08:53:31 -0500, Alex Sherwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does the inUserInRole() function take a list of roles or a single role?
