Title: Can the User's Role in CFLOGIN Be a List?
Date: 07/17/03      13 Posts
Summary: When using roles-based security in CFMX, remember that IsUserInRole("admin,creative") evaluates to true only if a user is in both the admin and creative roles. To permit access to users who are in either an admin or a creative role, write your conditional code like this:

   <CFIF IsUserInRole("creative") or IsUserInRole("admin")>

This thread also contains a discussion about the difference between ListContains() and ListFind() and some historical info about the Advanced Security system used in earlier versions of ColdFusion.
