Show & hide the links based on the loggedin user role in MVC

Question

Hi I am using MVC 5 I need to show and hide the links based on the logged in user role. view code if (User.IsInRole(Admin)) { @Html.ActionLink(Manage Users ManageUsers new { id = Model.id appname = Model.app_name }) } controller code [HttpPost] [Authorize(Roles = Admin)] public ActionResult ApplicationEdit() { ////////////// } hide the link when I logged in as a normal user it works perfectly. But when I logged in as Admin it is not showing the link. hide the link both time. my requirement is hide the link only when logged in as a normal user not Admin.

Hi your code is correct it must work check return value of User.IsInRole(Admin) when admin user login.... also use @ before if @if (User.IsInRole(Admin)) { @Html.ActionLink(Manage Users ManageUsers new { id = Model.id appname = Model.app_name }) } hope this will help you.
