Use Hide when functionality on the menu elements; i.e.: @IsNotMember("[Administrator]";@UserRoles) It's as easy as that!

Well, what sort of server-side technology are you using? That makes a big difference as to *how* you’d go about doing it, but from a high level it’s the same.

Basically, when you’re rendering the menu, check to see which role the user belongs to — I’d suggest having a database table which links users to roles (if they can have multiple roles) or a column in the user table if they are limited to a single role.

good luck!
