Christopher, that looks like some good re-usable code. Would you mind sharing the working .ascx contents?

Hello Sam... Yes, I had some problem with posting the code.. But if you want the file, just send me an email and I mail the code back. I try to explaine more with this example..

1. Put this line before your html code in the skin/container:
<%
Dim isAdmin As Boolean
isAdmin = DotNetNuke.Security.PortalSecurity.IsInRoles(GetPortalSettings().AdministratorRoleName)
%>


2. Then throughout your skin/container, use something like this:
<%If isAdmin Then%>
Do the html that should show up in admin, ex actionbuttons
<%Else%>
Do the html that should show up for non admin
<%End If%>
