There's actually a couple ways...  the current user, is usually "user" as an 
instance... otherwise...

for the JS object model used in sync, see http://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html
also... http://www.synchro.net/docs/js.html

var u = new User(#); //where # is the user number... forward, expecting "user"

if (user.age >= 18) {
	//do something...
}

if (user.security.level > 60) {
	//do something
}

alternatively

if (user.compare_ars("AGE 18 OR LEVEL 60")) {
	//do something
}

If you need some books on Javascript in general, let me know...

NOTE: when you are doing multiple security checks, compare_ars uses the same 
format as other ARS strings in SCFG, and is generally an easier syntax, than 
longer JS evaluations, though probably a little longer to parse/execute, but 
it shouldn't be a huge deal... look at the .js files in the exec/ directory 
for tons of examples... you can find more information on ARS strings here
