if you’re not using the asp membership, you could do it this way, supposing you could get the role by using the username and that the role is included in the model:

@{
   UserContext userDb = new UserContext();
   var user = userDb.UserModels.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Username.Equals(User.Identity.Name));

   if(user.Role == "Admin")
   {
      @ActionLink("Link's Name","SomeAction", "SomeController");
   }
}

crude sample but if that what you’re looking for.
