hi sree, I suppose all you wish to do is to control flow/display based on different roles.
If yes and you have struts 1.1, pls read on. Struts allows you to set roles for different actions using strust-config.xml. So, user belonging to particular role say "ADMIN" can call that ACTION. Moreover, in your JSPs, you can always check isUserInRole() etc. it's just call on your request object. Struts even provide the tag for that <logic:present role="admin"/> et al.. do write should you need more help.
