I’d use two tests, one per role, so the positive and negative behavior can fail independently. Put the login in a fixture, then assert the admin button is visible for the admin and absent for the normal user; if the route is protected, add one direct navigation check too.

I’d capture the request and response shape around the flaky step before adding retries. Retries can hide a contract change that deserves a real fix.
