two secure account areas

[eluser]pdxbenjamin[/eluser]
I followed a tutorial somewhere that had me create a login and account area by setting a
" is_logged_in " variable. I used this for users.
However now my project has called for a second "admin" area and the is_logged_in is causing some problems. When I am logged in as a user I can access my admin area.

Is there a way to have a second account area, is_logged_in_users and is_logged_in_admin ?
