I'm working with a client that will be displaying dynamic pages to visitors. I'd like to make a "edit" button on the front page if and only if they are logged in that will give them a form that will allow for editing.

Is there anyway to tell if someone is a backend logged in user on the frontend?

Thank you for your time.

You can use BackendAuth facade to check if user is logged in to backend:

$user = BackendAuth::getUser();

if ($user) {
    ...
}
