I have live site that I am working on, and I need to build out a new section.  I only want to show the content to me the ‘admin’ when I am logged in to the back-end working on it.

I tried the following:

{if {username} == ‘admin’}
    DSPLAY CONTENT
{if:else}
    UNDER CONTRUCTION
{/if}

But this does not seem to work.  Any Suggestions?

Try this instead :

{if member_group == "1"}
Display content
{if:else}
Under construction
{/if}

The code above will work for Super Admin accounts which is what I guess you are using? Another easier way would be to use the Template Access Restriction which would allow you to restrict a template to just yourself and no-one else and you can re-direct the user to a different template to show your under construction message or whatever else you wish. Stops you having the need for loads of {if} statements on your pages and when you want to give access back to users then you can just turn off the restrictions.

Hope that helps a bit.
