ASP.NET MVC Check role inside view

Question

In my View I have some admin links that I would like to hide and show based on user role how can do this inside the view e.g.

<%= if(CHECK IF USER ROLE ADMIN) { %>
        <div class="tools">
            <ul>
                <li class="edit"><%= Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = Model.storyId }) %></li>
                <li class="delete"><%= Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = Model.storyId }) %></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
<%= } %>

Answer 1

@if (this.User.IsInRole("Administrator"))
{

}

Answer 2

<% if (Page.User.IsInRole("Admin")){ %>

<%}%>

However this is a terrible idea in my opinion. It is better to let the ViewData or Model represent what the view is to display, and the view can simply check the view data. A controller base class or an action filter can make repetitive use of this very simple and allow the code to exist in one place.
