I'll assume the user privileges will be an integer to denote access level. One way to do this is, add this module to the end of your main form class, and the property will be accessible to any form in your project:

Public Module Properties
    Public Property AuthenticationLevel As Integer = 0
End Module

If you need something more secure start looking at Principals
