 * you could use current_user_can(‘capability’)
 * i think capability can be an old fashioned admin level type integer or the more
   modern capabilities. have a look at

 * I don’t see how…
 * The roles and capabilities seems to relate more to the admin panel and editing,
   not viewing pages..
 * It must be possible somehow….

 * nonetheless, the current_user_can function should work when displaying pages 
   and posts. current_user means the logged in ID.
 * i have used it to show extra post information viewable only by logged in site
   editors.
 * try it. make an admin and non-admin user, and just try adding some widget logic
   that uses that function.

 * wow! it works….
 * had a look [here](http://www.bravenewcode.com/2008/05/02/how-to-show-content-for-specific-users-in-wordpress-templates/)
 * then just added _current\_user\_can(‘level\_10’)_ and it works…..
 * Thanks for your help!
