Working out if someone is an "admin" ?
Hi,

Ok, I have a feeling there is gonna be a really easy solution for this - but I can't work it out :(

At the moment, I need to work out if a user is "admin" - to give them access to a certain function. Now, I'm already doing stuff via the "action", so only members/mods/admins can view the functions I'm working on - but doing:

Code:
print $IN->header;
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper($USER);

..doesn't really give me the info I need.

Furthermore, I'm looking in the UserGroups table - and I can't see any obviouse way to determine if a username is classed as "admin" (only seems there are groups for Guest/Registered/Moderators).

Am I missing something really stupid? (been a long day, so wouldn't suprise me :P)

TIA
