Replacing routing config when role changes.

[ajaxscape]

I really like the idea of specifying routes as components but I'm tearing my hair out trying to work out how to apply authentication. What I would really like to do is when a user changes their roles (log-in, log-out, log-in as someone else) I could really do with replacing the routing config by calling $router.config() with another set of routes that replace the previous. Is there any way to do this?

I think you can do something using the lifestyle components

this.canActivate = function(){
  var hasAccess =  userAccessInfo.hasAccessToSecondComponent;
  if(!hasAccess){
    $window.alert('You don\'t have access to this view. 
      Redirecting to previous view ...');
  }
  return hasAccess;
};

Not 100% sure since I haven't messed around with it too much myself yet

I would rather I was able to display a 404 error page (with the url being the attempted page load) without it displaying the previous view ..... and what if someone is trying to deep-link to a view that exists but not for that user?
