Easy and simple check the user role and if admin change the visibility of the hyperlink to visible.

C#

<asp:HyperLink runat="server" CssClass="link" ID="hlkEditInfo">Edit_Information </asp:HyperLink>

code behind

C#

if (check admin role)
{
hlkEditInfo.Visible = true;
}
else
{
hlkEditInfo.Visible = false;
}
