Using Razor with Visual Basic: Listing 6.

Restricting functionality to authorized users.

@Code
  If User.IsInRole("admin") Then
    @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
  End If
End Code

@Code
  If User.IsInRole("admin") Then
    @Html.ActionLink("Email", "Email", New With {.id = currentItem.CustomerID})
    @Html.Raw(" | ")
    @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", New With {.id = currentItem.CustomerID}) 
    @Html.Raw(" | ")
  End If
  If User.IsInRole("clerical") OrElse User.IsInRole("admin") Then
    @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", New With {.id = currentItem.CustomerID}) 
    @Html.Raw(" | ")
  End If
  If User.IsInRole("employee") Then
    @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", New With {.id = currentItem.CustomerID})
  End If
End Code

Similarly, the link at the top of the customer list to create a new customer is restricted to admin users only by the following code:

@Code
  If User.IsInRole("admin") Then
    @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
  End If
End Code
