The session management has been rewritten. You should use

	use Catalyst qw/
		-Debug
		
		Session
		Session::Store::FastMmap
		Session::State::Cookie

		Authentication
		Authentication::Store::DBIC
		Authentication::Credential::Simple
	/;

and I also suggest you replace 'Static' with 'Static::Simple' =)

	http://catalyst.perl.org/calendar/2005/15

contains an introduction to sessions

This requires an update to Catalyst 5.61, too.

If you don't want to update your application, then in the old code
just add

	if ( $user->role eq "admin" ) {
		...
	} else {
		$c->detach("/auth/access_denied");
	}
