How do I go about checking if a user has a certain security level and

There's actually a couple ways... the current user, is usually "user" as an instance... otherwise...
for the JS object model used in sync, see
http://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html
also...
http://www.synchro.net/docs/js.html
var u = new User(#); //where # is the user number... forward, expecting "user"
if (user.age >= 18) {
//do something...
}
if (user.security.level > 60) {
//do something
}
alternatively
if (user.compare_ars("AGE 18 OR LEVEL 60")) {
//do something
}
If you need some books on Javascript in general, let me know...
NOTE: when you are doing multiple security checks, compare_ars uses the same format as other ARS strings in SCFG, and is generally an easier syntax, than longer JS evaluations, though probably a little longer to parse/execute, but it shouldn't be a huge deal... look at the .js files in the exec/ directory for tons of examples... you can find more information on ARS strings here
