I think you meant those to be () rather than {}

i notice, thanks
i use that line too mucho on my code so i made on ApplicationControlller

def privilege
(session[:user_id].exist? && session[:user_id].privilege == 50) ?
true : false
end

and on the actual page i put

<%= :privilege ? link_to(‘Edit’, edit_product_path(product)) : “” %>

but it doesnt work, I also tried using

return false unless session[:user_id].exist? &&

session[:user_id].privilege == 50

There might be other issues, but the reason you can not access it is
that
you either need to put it in a helper (app/helpers), or make your code
in
the application controller look like:

helper_method :privelige
def privelige

your code here

end

You’ve got a stray : in front of privilege
