Hello Ferman,
Try the following code snippet in the ItemDataBound to hide the edit button based on the user name.
C#:

if (dataItem["UserName"].Text != "Addmin")
  {
    LinkButton linkButton = (LinkButton)dataItem["EditCommandColumn"].Controls[0];
    linkButton.Enabled = false;
   }

Also check out the following help documentation.
Setting edit permissions depending on permission field.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks, but it isn't working.

dataItem["EditCommandColumn"] is always null. I have AutoGenerateEditColumn="true".

thanks,

Hello Ferman,

If you are using autogenerated edit column, try accessing the column with its UniqueName as AutoGeneratedEditColumn

C#:

if (dataItem["EmployeeID"].Text != "Admin")
 {
     LinkButton linkButton = (LinkButton)dataItem["AutoGeneratedEditColumn"].Controls[0];
     linkButton.Enabled = false;
}

Thanks,
Princy.
