Help rewrite code to PHP 7 from PHP 5 to determine access group level

Hell Support,

Please I have this code in my template used to hide menu based on access level. It works well till I started using your MySQLi Server Behavior.

What it does is to prevent access based on the access level given to users. Below is a sample code for Operator access level. As an administrator with "Administrator" level, I am not supposed to see their menu but now I am seeing it.
The is I believe is from this line of code <?php if (!isset($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']) || $_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'] == 'Operator'){ ?>.

Please can you help rewrite to PHP 7 version. I used it for PHP 5.

<?php if (!isset($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']) || $_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'] == 'Operator'){ ?>
<li class="nav-item has-treeview menu-open">
<a href="mydashboard.php" class="nav-link active">
<i class="nav-icon fas fa-tachometer-alt"></i>
<p>
My Dashboard
</p>
</a>
<li class="nav-item has-treeview">
<a href="#" class="nav-link">
<i class="far fa-money-bill-alt"></i>&nbsp; &nbsp;
<p>
My Invoice
<i class="fas fa-angle-left right"></i>
</p>
</a>
<ul class="nav nav-treeview">
<li class="nav-item">
<a href="../myinvoices.php" target="_blank" class="nav-link">
<i class="far fa-circle nav-icon"></i>
<p>
My Invoice List
</p>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</li>
<?php } ?>

Thank you

This code doesn't need to be updated. You just need to make sure to set the MM_UserGroup value on the login page. Once that is done properly, then this page will work as it did before.

Thank you sir but below is my login page code. Kindly tell me what I should do

<?php
$Authenticate = new WA_MySQLi_Auth($RMConferenceDBMS);
$Authenticate->Action = "authenticate";
$Authenticate->Trigger = ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] === "POST");
$Authenticate->Name = "Administrator";
$Authenticate->Table = "admin_login";
$Authenticate->addFilter("user_name", "=", "s", "".((isset($_POST["user_name"]))?$_POST["user_name"]:"") ."");
$Authenticate->addFilter("password", "=", "s", "".((isset($_POST["password"]))?md5($_POST["password"]):"") ."");
$Authenticate->addFilter("level", "=", "s", "".((isset($_POST["level"]))?$_POST["level"]:"") ."");
$Authenticate->storeResult("user_name", "user_name");
$Authenticate->storeResult("password", "password");
$Authenticate->storeResult("level", "level");
$Authenticate->RememberMe = (false);
$Authenticate->SaveLogin = (true);
$Authenticate->AutoReturn = false;
$SuccessRedirect = "dashboard.php";
$FailedRedirect = "errorlogin.php";
if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $SuccessRedirect = $SuccessRedirect?rel2abs($SuccessRedirect,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $FailedRedirect = $FailedRedirect?rel2abs($FailedRedirect,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
$Authenticate->SuccessRedirect = $SuccessRedirect;
$Authenticate->FailRedirect = $FailedRedirect;
$Authenticate->execute();
?>

I think this line:

$Authenticate->storeResult("level", "level");

should be:

$Authenticate->storeResult("level", "MM_UserGroup");

Thank you so much. It worked.

Although I had earlier changed it from <?php if (!isset($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']) || $_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'] == 'Operator'){ ?> to <?php if (!isset($_SESSION['level']) || $_SESSION['level'] == 'Operator'){ ?> and it worked but I have changed it back to what you suggested and it still worked
