Well you could use the pre-cfswitch option...
<cfif IsUserInRole....
<cfelseif IsUserInRole...
<cfelseif IsUserInRole....
<cfelse>
No mathing roles found.
</cfif>
Not quite as clean as a cfswitch...but some of the benifits and should
be a
bit faster then a bunch of complete <cfif></cfif> blocks. This code
block
will stop testing conditions once a match is found. To optimize it,
put
your conditions in order of most likely to least likely.

Thanks Jim...
Sooo, I guess I have to do this by going through each of my roles and
doing cfifs?
Seems like I am "hardcoding" almost.

It's not illegal, but it won't work.
IsUserInRole() takes a role and returns a Boolean (true/false) - it
really
can't be used in a switch like that. (The "value" attribute looks at
the
RETURN of "expression" - it doesn't act as input to it.)

Pretty much.
I've personally never used CFLOGIN, but my own security system is similar.
I create a list of approved roles in each user's session scope and use UDFs
to deal with it. You can do the same thing with "IsUserInRole()"
So instead of really clunky CFIFs you end up with a little more streamlined
CFIFs:
<cfif IsUSerInRole("Admin")>
<h2>Administrator Functions: </h2>
</cfif>
<cfif IsUSerInRole("Facilities")>
<h2>Facilities Functions: </h2>
</cfif>
This is actually a bit more flexible than CFSWITCH in any case as a user can
be in more than one role (I'm not sure if that's possible in your situation,
but using CFIF it's technically simpler - CFSWITCH would stop at the first
match).

Don't know, but if so you will need pounds in the expression. I always
forget that.
<cfswithc expression="#IsUserInRole()#>

Is this illegal?
<Cfswitch expression="IsUserInRole()">
<CfCase value="Admin">
<h2>Administrator Functions: </h2>
</cfcase>
<CfCase value="Facilities">
<h2>Facilities Functions: </h2>
</cfcase>
</Cfswitch>

yeah, so that it will actually parse the value of isUserInRole() rather
than validate that the value is actually = "IsUserInRole()" make sense?

I think it should be <Cfswitch expression="#IsUserInRole()#">
