Admin only div

On a live site (yes, I know, I should back-up and do this locally) I'd like to add a div that only I - or anyone else with high enough priveleges - can see when logged into the manager.

All documentation I've come across seems to be concerned with admin pages, rather than areas within pages. Is this easily accomplished? [ed. note: chris. last edited this post 12 years, 6 months ago.]

Hi Chris,
i should think you could use the user object for that:
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/modUser

Something like

if ($modx->user->isAuthenticated('web') && $modx->user->isMember('someGroup')) {
   /* return some Chunk */
}

That would do it. A full version might look like this:

[[ShowMyStuff]]

<?php
/* ShowMyStuff snippet */
$output = "";
if ($modx->user->isAuthenticated('web')
     && $modx->user->isMember('Administrator')
    && $modx->user->get('username') == 'MyUserName'
) {
  $output =  $modx->getChunk('SomeChunk');
}

return $output;

Thanks to you both - I'll admit though, the first example had me a little perplexed.
I appreciate the elaboration.
