Coldfusion user authentication, roles, authorization.

1
Hello.
I am a coldfusion novice with the mammoth task of creating a site that allows users to login. Once logged in they have a profile area with rights to order and edit their details.

Login is fine.
The site and all content is available for viewing by all (it is just information so these pages do not need authorization.)
It is once the user logs in that I loose clarity.

I am assigning roles for one admin, the rest are just 'user'.
I have a login.cfm
security.cfc
profile.cfm

Any information or tutorials that would help or guide me would be ideal.
I have moved from one to another but the structure of the necessary files and how they link together is never clear.

Thanks in advance,
