Question

I want to create a view that has different displays according to the role the user is in.

Should I create a different view for different roles or should I check the

Answer 1

without researching the exact mechanism asp.net mvc uses for roles i would scream no for putting any of your business logic in the view which is what you are doing if you are checking roles in the view

Answer 2

I have base model which from all others models extend. In this model i have loaded the user's roles. Its based on httpcontext.user.isinrole() method. All views are strong typed expecting the base model type. So i can always check in all views something like Model.CurrentUser.IsInRoles(Role1 | Role2). Not only in views of course, but in hole application.
