I can see that it is possible to create conditional output.

I can see that it is also possible to create a custom shortcode and evaluate the output against a string.

Is it possible to create a custom shortcode to get the current user "role" and compare that to a string?
Eg. [get_logged_in_user_role] == "administrator"

Can you suggest how to write the shortcode which will be evaluated against?

Hello,

It is possible with Toolset Access plugin, for example:

[toolset_access role="Administrator" operator="allow"]
Here display something for administrator only
[/toolset_access]

Yes, in fact I already tried that.
It works, but it adds superfluous <p> tags to the layout, and generally messes things up.
So I though conditional tags which check for "administrator" role via a short code might work better.

Please try to modify it as below, and test again:
[toolset_access role="Administrator" operator="allow" raw="true"]
Here display something for administrator only
[/toolset_access]

The attribute raw="true" should be able to avoid the problem you mentioned above.
