You could connect to the db and read the user table to get the usergroupid, but you'd need the username or userid.

Their username on EE should be the same as on vB so I guess I could just use that variable and that could work, what would the query be for selecting their usergroupid? I tried some but it didn't seem to like it .

I'll try and do some searching if you can recall anything else from the thread?

Just to update you - we've managed it just by connecting to the database rather than using any of vB's files.

Thanks for your help.
