How to hide certain things on navbar unless user is authorized? (Rails + Devise)

I have a couple links that I want to hide unless the user is authorized to see it. I created an extra column in my User model that is called super and I want to do something similar to the code below:

<% if current_user.super == true  %> 
      <li><%= link_to "Hidden", hidden_path %></li>  
    <% end %>

The super is defined as a boolean and already set to true. I'm getting an error saying that they don't recognize "super"

super is a ruby keyword,. With devise you can check as 

<% if current_user.present?  %> 
  <li><%= link_to "Hidden", hidden_path %></li>  
<% end %>

or 

<% if user_signed_in? %> 
  <li><%= link_to "Hidden", hidden_path %></li>  
<% end %>

Devise provides these helper methods,
