I've tried this and the admin role checking works but didn't add the
"delete" action to the menu.  I've added some debug session data to
verified that.  Maybe something is wrong with
"active_scaffold_config.actions.add :delete" statement?
   if @session['user'].admin
     active_scaffold_config.actions.add :delete
     @session['permission']="1"
   else

I've added the filter definition in application controller and added
the before filter to the controller where I need to add the delete.
But the delete doesn't show.
