Normally, when you create a table to hold the allowed users, it is something like this:

Login.Dbf Structure

LoginName      c(10)  && A nickname for easy login
Password       c(10)  && The encrypted password
FullName       c(40)  && The complete name of the user
JobPos         c(40)  && Job Position
IsAdmin        L      && Logical True or False, True as Admin, False as Plain Users

Now in your module where you grant users an access to your app, you immediately decide on the level of that specific user. The simplest is creating two levels as shown above which can be achieved by a logical field. So you can save a specific user as an Admin or not. Then when your user login successfuly, you can immediately get the access level and place the value in a _Screen variable like this:

_Screen.AddObject("oIsAdmin",login.isadmin)

So on your menu item, you can now SKIP FOR !_screen.Isadmin
