    Hi, i have two admins with different roles,
    1st - can read and edit any field in a fieldgroup.
    2nd - can readonly a specific fieldgroup, and edit other fieldgroups

    it's just an example, because there are many fieldgroups and i need one of them to be readonly for that specific user.

    is there a way to do this ?

    thanks

    Hi,

    The plugin doesn't support hiding fields by user roles/IDs. You can try to add your own JS callback or use Meta Box Include Exclude extension. This extension works with user roles/IDs, but works for showing/hiding meta boxes, not fields.

    Hi, thanks for your response,
    but i am not talking about hiding and showing, it's about readonly or disabling the modifying ability for some users, they still need to see the information on fields without modification !

    is that doable ?

    thanks

    Hi,

    Thanks for the clarification. I think it can be done with custom JS code. Basically, you need to listen for changes in inputs and enable/disable the readonly attribute of fields.
