I implement a template based permission infrastructure where basically users can either access a page or not.
I've personally never bumped into a case that required CFC level permission control... In what kind of situations do people find this valuable? Some non-cfc in-page granular permission control I HAVE needed: - Displaying links on a page to sections that a specific user has access to. But I wouldn't write a new method for every possible role, I just check each link to see if the user has perm to it or not. - Limiting returned recordsets: Again, I wouldn't write a new method for EVERY role, there are too many, I would just pass in some arguments and use them to filter. Especially since it seems like 99% of your CFC would be the same besides some WHERE clause or a couple of conditions. - There are several others, but I have to go pick up my friend from the airport.

They add a level of self-documentation and prevent someone who doesn't read documentation from incorrectly providing people access to the wrong things. It'a about keeping the CFC self-contained and ensuring the integrity of the app in the business logic rather than hoping the developer gets it right in the interface logic or elsewhere.
