You can set flags and apply roles allowed to 'view' or 'edit' this field.

$field->setRoles(string $type, $roles); // $type = 'edit' or 'view'
$field->addFlag(int $flag);
$field->removeFlag(int $flag);

Getting OT, but does anyone know why $field doesn't have an addRole method, but $template does: https://processwire.com/api/ref/template/add-role/

Do we think this is a bug that needs reporting?

I wouldn't call that a bug, but it would definitely improve API consistency ?
