Roles vs Enumeration

p
I am wirting an applications where I use Roles. My roles are held in an SQL
Table where the fields are simply RolID and RoleName.

I am writing the Application in ASP.NET. I assign the roles to the users
security principal during authentication, so I can use User.IsInRole(
Rolname as String ) which returns a boolean to tell me if the user is
assigned this role.

So far so good.

The issue I have is around writing the code. In order to make things clear
in the code I use an enumeration called Roles, so I have things like
Roles.Administrator etc. This means I have to ensure that my Enumeration
matches my Table.

Is there a better way of doing this ?
