It's just that I haven't seen any examples of CFCs being used for that functionality, so I wondered why. It seems that one of the ways to collect all the functionality related to users is to have a users.cfc where you'd have a method called login, one called listusers, one called updateprofile, one called emailpassword etc, and then all the database access, and action related to user access is in the one place. This is what's advocated in other applications about CFCs, but I haven't seen login, authentication, updating last login date, number of logins etc - all that user access stuff - gathered into a CFC. So I wondered if that was because people have always done it without CFCs and therefore old habits are at play, or whether there was a logical reason not to include this stuff in CFCs, that I wasn't seeing. (Believe me there's a LOT about my world that I don't see. Just ask my wife!)
