I don't think you'll be able to enable/disable the ribbon to administrators by using SPSecurityTrimmedControl class. Because SPSecurityTrimmedClass has only the option to provide access to 'any users', or authenticated users.

For this specific case you need to use ECMA Script to find out whether the user has relevant permissions before allowing the ribbon to be rendered

function checkifUserHasEditPermissions()

{

             Esubvali=false;

      context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();

      web = context.get_web();

      this._currentUser = web.get_currentUser();

      this._theList = web.get_lists().getByTitle('Shared Documents');

      context.load(this._currentUser);

       context.load(web,'EffectiveBasePermissions');

            context.load(this._theList, 'EffectiveBasePermissions')

            context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, onPermissionsSuccessMethod), Function.createDelegate(this, onPermissionsFailureMethod));

      }

 I have one custom ribbon button that should be enable when administrator login in SharePoint 2010.

Hi,

In the solution you are defining your custom action , you can add RequireSiteAdministrator  attribute and set it to TRUE or if you would need more complex permission check you can add Rights attribute and specify permission mask that user should have to see your action.

EG:

<CustomAction 
     Description="Search Title on Bing" 
     Title="Bing It!" 
     Id="{E538E8C7-65DA-454E-AD87-4A603B6CC569}" 
     Location="CommandUI.Ribbon.DisplayForm" 
     RegistrationId="100" 
     RegistrationType="List"
     RequireSiteAdministrator="TRUE" 
     Sequence="0" 
     xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

...

</CustomAction>

or

<CustomAction 
     Description="Search Title on Bing" 
     Title="Bing It!" 
     Id="{E538E8C7-65DA-454E-AD87-4A603B6CC569}" 
     Location="CommandUI.Ribbon.DisplayForm" 
     RegistrationId="100" 
     RegistrationType="List"
     Sequence="0" 
     Rights="ViewListItems,ManageAlerts" 
     xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

...

</CustomAction>

Hi,

Finally i achieved with this

 EnabledScript="javascript:
            var test = false;
           
            function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args) {
           
              isView();
            }

            function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
                //failed code here
            }
              
           function isView() {
          
               
          
          
      this._currentUser = web.get_currentUser();

      this._theList = web.get_lists().getById(this.selectedList);

      this.clientContext.load(this._currentUser);

       this.clientContext.load(web,'EffectiveBasePermissions');

            this.clientContext.load(this._theList, 'EffectiveBasePermissions')
           
           
                this.clientContext.executeQueryAsync(
                    Function.createDelegate(this, isUserAuthorizedSuccess),
                    Function.createDelegate(this, isUserAuthorizedFailed));
            }          
          
            function isUserAuthorizedSuccess(sender, args) {
             
              this.testPermitrequest = true;
             
              if (this._theList.get_effectiveBasePermissions().has(SP.PermissionKind.editListItems))

      {
             
                  this.testbyValue = true;               
                  this.testtoValue = true;
                  
                  if (this.testbyValue == true && this.testtoValue == true) {
                      test = true;
                  }
              }
              else
              {
               this.testbyValue = false;
           }
                  RefreshCommandUI();              
            }

            function isUserAuthorizedFailed(sender, args) {
              //failed code here
            }
            
              function SelectedFilesRequest() {
            
                  //this.selectedItem = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems();
                  this.clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
                  web = clientContext.get_web();
                  this.selectedList = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList();
                  this.listItem = web.get_lists().getById(this.selectedList);
                  this.clientContext.load(listItem, 'Title', 'Id');
                  this.clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, onQueryFailed));
              }

              function enableButtonRequest() {
               
                 
                   var listGuid = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList();
                  test = false;
                  if (listGuid !=null) {
                      if (this.adminItemIdenable != listGuid) {  
                          this.adminItemIdenable = listGuid;  
                          SelectedFilesRequest();
                       } else if (this.testbyValue == true && this.testtoValue == true ) {  
                          if (this.testPermitrequest == true) {
                            test = true;                            
                          } else {
                            test = false;                                                    
                          }
                       }
                  }
                  return test;
              }
