Hey 🖖

I want to create a component (header) in a theme that will only be visible to a certain group of users.

I’m use this script:

```plaintext
<script type='text/x-handlebars' data-template-name='/connectors/above-main-container/test'>
  {{#if currentUser}}
     <h1>Hello, {{currentUser.username}}!</h1>
  {{/if}}
</script>

```

What should I replace this parameter ` {{#if currentUser}}` with so that only users from group “HackOneGroup” can see the component?

I try this `{{#if group.name === "HackOneGroup"}}` but it’s wot work.

Please help 🥺 🙏
