Steven,
Do you allow more than one role per person? If you do, then you need to
account for that, and a switch statement won't handle that.
If the role is renamed, then you have to change your code. I mean,
there has to be some level of consistency somewhere.
If you want, you should define aliases for your roles that you will
always use, that are linked to whatever descriptive names you give them.
However, if you use code based security, it doesn't really help, since the
name of your role has to match with the role that you specify in the
attribute.
Hope this helps.
