Question

I have an enum called Permissions. A user can be assigned permissions, or permissions can be asigned to a role and the user can be given a role.

User and Role both have

Just to make sure I understand, are you trying to just map an enum property in your class to a field in a database? If that's it, then here's an example of how to do that:

public class Toy {
    public virtual int Id { get; private set; }
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }
    public virtual ToyCondition Condition { get; set; }
}

public enum ToyCondition {
    New,
    Used
}

public class ToyMap : ClassMap {
    public ToyMap() {
        Id(x => x.Id);
        Map(x => x.Name);
        Map(x => x.Condition).CustomTypeIs(typeof(ToyCondition));
    }
}

After that you can get, set and do logic with the Condition property just like normal using the ToyCondition enum.

Toy newToy = new Toy();
newToy.Condition = ToyCondition.New;
toyRepository.Save(newToy);

In the database for the Condition field, it should be an int. I hope this made sense and answers your question. Sorry if it doesn't and I'm way off.

Edit: Sorry I just noticed you asked this question and some one gave you the same answer as me. I don't think I can help you this. :(
