Answer 1

You have to store session Value in HiddenField. After that You can Access the HiddneFieldValue in your JS

 <script type="text/javascript">
     document.getElementById('hdnField').value = '<%=Session["privilage"]%>';
 </script> 

Answer 2

Just use:

var privilage = '<%=Session["privilage"]%>';

or try:

alert(privilage);

It will display your Session value
