isUserInRole is now implemented for the portal and portlets. The request object available in the framework (including to channels) implements isUserInRole that tests to see if the person is part of the group specified by the role name. The request object available to portlets includes the above test as well as checking a role link if specified in the portlet.xml.
The role name corresponds to the uPortal group key. Such as 'local.0' for the Everyone group.
