user status - user permissions

[ilbianconiglio]

Hi all

i have a simple question:

i have to implement some new php pages with new tables but i need to check if user is coming from vbulletin login (if his status is online or offline and so if he is registered) and his permissions (admin-mod-user) to permitt to see or not some contents in the new pages.

I thought to use var session if vbulletin doesn't have them.

So this is the point :

i need to know what is the best method:
- set these var session (retrieving user table on DB) on vbulletin index or in other page (where?)
- using vbulletin session vars (wich ones?)
- others.....

thanks for answers
