Solution 1

You are on the right track, you just need to add an actions item to displayedColumns list;

displayedColumns = ["username","email","userFirstName" ...  ,"actions"];

and:

<ng-container cdkColumnDef="actions">
    <md-header-cell > Actions </md-header-cell>
    <md-cell *cdkCellDef="let row" >
         <button md-raised-button >Edit</button> 
    </md-cell>
</ng-container> 

Solution 2

For those looking for 6 and above

In your .ts

displayedColumns = ["username","email","userFirstName" ...  ,"actions"];

and in your html

<ng-container matColumnDef="action">
  <th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Action </th>   
  <td mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> 
    <button mat-raised-button >Edit</button> 
  </td>
</ng-container>

Solution 3

<ng-container matColumnDef="actions">
  <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>Actions </mat-header-cell>
  <mat-cell *matCellDef="let row">
    <button mat-icon-button matTooltip="Click to Edit" class="iconbutton" color="primary">
        <mat-icon aria-label="Edit">edit</mat-icon>
      </button>
    <button mat-icon-button matTooltip="Click to Delete" class="iconbutton" color="warn">
        <mat-icon aria-label="Delete">delete</mat-icon>
      </button>
  </mat-cell>
</ng-container>
