How to check if backend user is logged in?

Templates, (partial) views and macros

Umbraco 8
I have a customer that wants an adminbar to appear on their webpage if they are logged into the backend. I am trying to do this from an UmbracoViewPage, and after some googling, I've found the two following solutions, however they don't seem to work:
```
 bool isLoggedIn = UmbracoContext.Security.IsAuthenticated();
```
This always returns false.
```
bool isLoggedIn = UmbracoContext.Security.CurrentUser != null;
```
CurrrentUser is always null.

Any help would be appreciated!

I found the solution:

HttpContextBase wrapper = new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current);
UmbracoBackOfficeIdentity user = wrapper.GetCurrentIdentity(true);

bool isLoggedIn = user != null;
