Question

Say you want to display a menu that has many elements… Some elements are exclusive to users with “administrator” role.
I know how to restrict controllers methods using

[Authorize(Roles = "Administrators")]

but I want to figure out a way to display a specific html thing depending on the user roles

example

<ul>
<li>Menu Item 1</li>
<% //if is admin%>
<li>Menu Item 2 (for admins only)</li>
</ul>

How do I do thiis?

Answer 1

<ul>
<li>Menu Item 1</li>
<% if(Roles.IsUserInRole("Administrators")) { %>
<li>Menu Item 2 (for admins only)</li>
<% } %>
</ul>
