Can I add a "edit node" link as field in a node? I need to have the "edit node" link as a field so that I can manage its display.

Can I do this?

Update:
I created the field but the token code is printed instead of its value.
The code you see in the capture is printed: http://misite.com/node/%5Bnode%3Anid%5D/edit

Capture:
You could also check to see if the user has access before printing the edit link.
&lt;?php
  if (node_access('update', $entity)) {
    print l(t('Edit'), 'node/' . $entity-&gt;nid . '/edit');
  }
