Is it a boolean column?
We wind up setting @user = current_user, and then checking 
if @user.admin  
#current_user.admin should work just as well if you don’t need to hang on to 
the actual signed in user.
        …
end
Otherwise, 
@user.<column_name> == “admin”   #(or whatever you use)

cheers,
Bill
