Re: Auth and Registry

Not really, I just read the docs and the prepend example. Let's start real
easy. I just want to manually login a user using prepend.php and give them
some roles, so that I can access my sitemap gates and role based interface
elements. I'll add the _registry items for the interface, but what do I
need to do to set the roles?

$roles=Array('admin','root','user');
Auth::registerUser($roles);

??
