You can't get to the session when you are declaring the config.  You need to
do this on a before filter.

before_filter :add_delete_if_admin

def add_delete_if_admin
  if session['user'].admin
    active_scaffold_config.actions.add :delete
  else
    active_scaffold_config.actions.exclude :delete
  end
end

you should also implement this method, which will prevent the deletion from
happening if someone is trying to url hijack and delete things.

def delete_authorized?
  session['user'].admin
end
