Does the Shopify template system have an admin only variable?

Question

I want to be able to show product edit links on the product pages of a Shopify site.

But I only want the link to appear to users who are logged in as admins.

Is this possible in the Liquid syntax?

Answer 1

As far as I am aware, this is still not possible.

See here for more info:

Currently there isn't [a way to do this with liquid]. You could perhaps try inspecting cookies and stuff to see if there's some identifying information that would let you know if the user is an admin, but it would be fragile...

An alternative option is to use customer accounts with an 'admin' tag.
