User/role extension methods in an ASP.NET MVC view

This is a small Html helper that I use when I need to check the role in a view

public static class PageHelper
{
public static bool IsAdmin(this ViewUserControl pg)
{
return pg.Page.User.IsInRole("Admin");
}

public static bool IsCustomer(this ViewUserControl pg)
{
return pg.Page.User.IsInRole("Customer");
}
}

Don't forget to add the namespace for your extension methods in your Web.config :

<namespaces>
<add namespace="MyProject.Web.Helpers" />
</namespaces>
