  Enable Menu Based on Roles

  Nov 29, 2012 11:49 PM|LINK

  I wish to enable this menu only if the logged in user is an administrator. I am not sure how to do it, and I can't seem to find a sample code online. Can someone help, please?

  @(Html.Telerik().Menu()
       .Name("Administrator")
       .Orientation(MenuOrientation.Vertical)
       .Items(item => item.Add()
          .Text("Manager")
          .Enable(false)
          .HtmlAttributes( new {style="text-align:left"})
          .Action("Index", "Users")
          })

  
  
  

  Regards,

  If you render the menu as a PartialView it gets easy to do from the controller.

  [Authorize]
  public PartialViewResult AdminNav( string MemberName )
  {
    if ( User.Identity.Name == "Admin" )
    {
     // this case intentailly left empty
    }
   else
     return null;
  

    List<Menu> menu = new List<Menu>();
      menu.Add( new Menu( "Home",             "Index",                   "AdminBackOffice", null       ) );
      menu.Add( new Menu( "Create Blog",      "CreateBlog",              "AdminBackOffice", null       ) );
      menu.Add( new Menu( "Create Msgs",      "CreateAutoresponderMsgs", "AdminBackOffice", null       ) );
      menu.Add( new Menu( "Enter Bank Info",  "BankInfo",                "AdminBackOffice", null       ) );
      menu.Add( new Menu( "Change Passwords", "ChangePasswords",         "AdminBackOffice", null       ) );
      menu.Add( new Menu( "Service Requests", "ServiceRequests",         "AdminBackOffice", null       ) );
      menu.Add( new Menu( "View Logins",      "ViewLogins",              "AdminBackOffice", null       ) );
      menu.Add( new Menu( "View Errors",      "ViewErrors",              "AdminBackOffice", null       ) );
      menu.Add( new Menu( "Log Off",          "LogOut",                  "BackOffice",      MemberName ) );
   
    return PartialView( menu );
  }
