Hide and visible the div tags of Layout.cshtml on the basis of user role in Asp.net MVC4(Razor)

I am having a master page which is having some menus for a Role called user and other menus are for the role of Admin, So what i am willing is to check the role of the user and and show some div tags and hide others on the basis of user role.

As, we don't have controller for layout.cshtml, so how i can set the viewModel for layout view Wherein i can check the role of the current user

How to do role based checking on the layout.cshtml.

You can use Following code for role based checking

@if(Request.IsAuthenticated)

{
    if(User.IsInRole("Admin")
    {
     <Ul Class="SubMenuItem">

     <li> this menu item is for Admin role</li>
     </Ul>
    }
     if(User.IsInRole("User")
    {
     <Ul Class="SubMenuItem">

     <li> this menu item is for User role</li>
     </Ul>
    }
}

For unknown user

else
{
 <Ul Class="SubMenuItem">

     <li> this menu item is for Unknown user</li>
     </Ul>
}

You could use the User.IsInRole method:

@if (User.IsInRole("admin"))
{
    <li>Only the admin can see this menu item</li>
}
