[TYPO3-english] usergroup conditional

[Graham Knight]

Hi,

In a TypoScript template I have the following conditional:

[usergroup = {$usergroup}]

where $usergroup is defined in the constants section. If I do a front-end login for the relevant usergroup then this works as expected - i.e. it evaluates to "true". However, if I do the same things whilst logged in to the back-end it evaluates to "false". 

Is this the expected behaviour and is there a way I can suppress the effect of the back-end log in?
