Hey!

I've been trying to have specific tools on my website, only visibile if you are logged in as the admin account in the backoffice. I've had this working on previous versions of Umbraco 7, but can't for the life of me figure out how it works in Umbraco 8.

For context, it's used as a plugin installed in /App_Plugins/. Then fetched into the pages using:

@Html.Partial("~/App_Plugins/Toolbox/Toolbox.cshtml")`

So far I've tried the following, without much success:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage
@using ClientDependency.Core.Mvc
@using Umbraco.Core
@using Umbraco.Core.Security
@using Umbraco.Core.Models.Membership
@{
    HttpContextBase wrapper = new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current);
    UmbracoBackOfficeIdentity user = wrapper.GetCurrentIdentity(true);
    bool isUmbracoLoggedIn = user != null;
}
@if (isUmbracoLoggedIn)
{
    // Tools go here
}

I've also tried the following, with no luck:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage
@using ClientDependency.Core.Mvc
@using Umbraco.Core
@using Umbraco.Core.Security
@using Umbraco.Core.Models.Membership
@{
var userTicket = new System.Web.HttpContextWrapper(System.Web.HttpContext.Current).GetUmbracoAuthTicket();
    if (userTicket != null) {     
        var currentUser = ApplicationContext.Services.UserService.GetByUsername(userTicket.Name);
        var isLoggedInUser = true;
    }
}

@if(isLoggedInUser) {
    // Tools go here
}

Aswell as trying to get information about the logged in user using:

bool isLoggedOn = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated;

However this always returns false.

I've tried Googling for the past few hours, and tried everything I've come across. All solutions suggesting using GetUmbracoAuthTicket() hasn't worked at all for me.

Let me know if you need anything else, hope some sharp minds in here are able to help! Thanks in advance!
