Cannot see links visible for admins on admin account

So I was trying to hide some stuff from normal users: Helper:

def admin
  User.find(:all, :conditions => { :email => ["admin@admin.com"] })
end

View:

<% if @active_user == admin %>
    <td><%= link_to raw('<i class="icon-pencil icon-white"></i>'), edit_quiz_path(quiz), :class => 'btn btn-info' %></td>
    <td><%= link_to raw('<i class="icon-trash icon-white"></i>'), quiz, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Pewien?' }, :class => 'btn btn-danger' %></td>
<% end %>

In the end, I logged on my admin account (with email admin@admin.com) and nothing showed.

Am I using proper function for finding the user in the db?

You could rewrite the helper method like this, so it would check the user is an admin without doing a query to the DB:

def admin?(user)
  user.present? && user.email == 'admin@admin.com'
end

Even better, create the method admin? in the User class.

I changed @current_user == admin to current_user.admin? and suddenly everything is working. So in the end it was the view that was wrong.
