Get users level

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I'm trying show certain parts of a page, depending on a user level.

E.g
a menu, admin (level 10) can view full menu, user (level 1) can only view parts of the menu.

Now I can do the php if, else, bits I just need to known how to access the users level 

help!!

??

// menu for all
if ($page_protect->access_level > 1) {
  // menu for small group
}

OK I guess I'm not as smart as I though I was, done this as a test

<?php
if ($page_protect->access_level > 1) {
  // menu for small groupsdsd
  echo "hello test";
}
?>

and I get back
Notice:  Undefined property: access_level in ...etc

of course you have to create an object (check the examples and maybe the php manual how to handle classes and objects)
