What is the easiest way to restrict content to a certain group?

I have content that I am intergrating into a couple pages right now, everything seems to be working right, but I want to know how I can keep certain people from seeing it. I want to know basically something like and if statement that would do something liek this

if (usergroup == admin)
{
Show
}
else
{
Show something else
}

You can use this conditional in PHP:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroup'] == X)

{

// Your code here

} else {

//something else here

}

and change X to your admin usergroup.

Deaths, I tried matching that to 6 because that is the usergroup for admin. It doesn't seem to work. It always outputs for not an admin, I changed the group and it does the same thing. I am coding for a vbadvanced page where I want the admin to be able to see a couple of extra things. I don't think I have access to the $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroup'] on that page, how can i get access to that?

Thanks

PHP Code:


		
			
// Note the ID at the end
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 6)
{
    echo "You're an administrator, eh!";
}
else
{
    echo "Be gone, low level scum.";
}

If you want to check secondary groups (or multiple, with ease):

PHP Code:


		
			
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6, 7, 8))
{
    echo "You're either a secondary or primary member of the groups 6 7 or 8.";
}

Using is_member_of allows to add as many groups as you'd like (somewhat new functionality)...
