As far as I'm aware, you don't need to check the session yourself... just use
if(!$this->redux_auth->logged_in()) {
// NOT LOGGED IN
} else {
// LOGGED IN
}
You could combine it with get_group to give certain users access to a page/function
if(($this->redux_auth->logged_in()) && (get_group($this->session->userdata('id')) == "admin"))
// LOGGED IN AS ADMIN
} else {
// NOT LOGGED IN AT ALL / NOT AN ADMIN
}
