trying to set a TSFE variable in HMENU

i'm trying to create a menubar with typoscript when im assigning an integer like 116 everything is working as expected but the thing is i dont know the page id and im getting from the session like this TSFE:fe_user|sesData|usergroup|menuProtectedRoot in this case the menu fails to appear 

    MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT = HMENU
    MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT {
        special = directory
        special.value = TSFE:fe_user|sesData|usergroup|menuProtectedRoot

...

but this will 

    MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT = HMENU
    MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT {
        special = directory
        special.value = 116

...

im absolutely sure the variable is there i can even output in another subpart

    SPAN = COA
    SPAN {
        10 = TEXT
        10.data = TSFE:fe_user|sesData|usergroup|menuProtectedRoot
        10.wrap = |
    }

i have tried setting it as a constant in my template > same result

i make sure it's a integer using (int) when setting the variable in my controller

    MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT = HMENU
    MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT {
        special = directory
        special.value = TSFE:fe_user|sesData|usergroup|menuProtectedRoot
        special.value.insertData = 1

no effect 

    MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT = HMENU
    MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT {
        special = directory
        special.data = TSFE:fe_user|sesData|usergroup|menuProtectedRoot

no effect

special.value does not support getText[1] (so it won't resolve any values from TSFE, GP, etc.) unless you set insertData = 1. Try this:

MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT = HMENU
MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT {
    special = directory
    special.value = {TSFE:fe_user|sesData|usergroup|menuProtectedRoot}
    special.value.insertData = 1

Try this approach:

MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT = HMENU
MENU_PROTECTED_ROOT {
    special = directory
    special.value.stdWrap.data = TSFE:fe_user|sesData|usergroup|menuProtectedRoot

Definition of special.value in HMENU[1] says that it can be stdWrap type which includes data parameter.
