Not NT ... we did something similar to what he's suggesting. We set up 'roles' in a lookup table in the database, then in our user maintenance screen we can check which roles a user has. This comma-delimited string of numbers goes into their 'state' that we maintain also in the database. When a page loads we create a structure called request.security and fill it with boolean values for all the roles. Then on any page you can check for request.security.name_of_some_role and if true, they are a member.
