"So against all the principles I have read in the thread I have modified the users table and library to allow me to display info based on the users role."
Its ok my tank auth version has a postgres back end
And my role session variable was called 'type'.
But btw everything you did makes sense. In hindsight I think a smarter move would be to include an extra function call in the login function which loads user profile data with an external or extensible model for use. That way it is always accessible info and much easier to handle / modify. Modifying the lib code is a total pain in the ass as it has a knock on effect to a million other files.
