access control - Show account specific modules in php -

I am working on a site that has different user accounts - so an artist, fan, or site account type Based on this, I want to show different modules in the member dashboard area.

If the statement sounds too dirty then use it and I am just wondering what other people's views will be like?

  if (acl.isAllowed (user.getLevel (), "venue.events.edit")) {// .... }
