You could have a custom Html Control which checks the user's role and then decide what to do.

I did this with Actionlinks, created Html.ActionLinkSecured

Namespace System.Web.Mvc.Html
{
public static class HtmlHelperExtensions
{
    public static string ActionLinkSecured(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string linkText, string action, string controller, object routeValues, bool showDisabled)
    {
      //check if user is logged in or whatever you wanna check
      //if ok
      return htmlHelper.ActionLink(...);
      //else
      return linkText
    }
}

You can have whatever you want... text, textbox, disabled textbox... :)
