I want to display a link in my skin, but only if the user is logged in as an admin or host.  What's the best way to do this inside of the skin file?

Use the links module and disable the view permissions for all users but admin
Or read this post (but this will only give you the possiblity to hide the link for non admin users)

To show content for an admin or superuser only, you can put this directly in your skin:

<% If DotNetNuke.Security.PortalSecurity.IsInRoles(PortalSettings.AdministratorRoleName) %>
             Admin only content here
<% End If %>

Hi John. Can you tell me if it is possible to only have the control panel visible by host and admin? I'm having a problem where when I give a user in a "manager" role edit page permissions (which is required for me to edit products in Catalook the way I want) the control panel is showing up. I've tried a few variations of your code and another one I found in this forum but they didn't work for me in this particular situation.

BTW, the code above works great for adjusting absolutely positioned elements in a page on login as admin. I use it to make room for the control panel dynamically in my CSS based skins (and hybrid skins). Otherwise the skin and the control panel mash together making quite an ugly scene.

Nice tip!
