Answer 1

There is a method called DetailsView.ChangeMode that Switches the DetailsView control to the specified mode i.e Edit or Delete or ReadOnly.

void Page_Load()  
    {
      if (IsPostBack == false)
      {
         if (roleid==1)
          {
           detailsView1.ChangeMode(DetailsViewMode.Edit);
          }
          else
          {
           detailsView1.ChangeMode(DetailsViewMode.ReadOnly);
          }
      }

     }

you can try like... I have tested this, will definitly work.

protected void dtv_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //put your condition here for role check
    dtv.Rows[dtv.Rows.Count - 1].Visible = false;//since in the last row ur save/update buttons
}
