Description
Controlling what a user can see or change is important within the ColdFusion application server. Allowing non-privileged users to change administrative type data can cause errors within the system or DoS situations. By forcing users to identify themselves and then tying roles to that identity, an individual is presented with only those options needed to perform their duties.
