Hide single input field for specific user/role

[cabrooney]

Is it possible to hide specific inputfields from specific users/roles? I want the user to be able to edit the page, except a single field in that page.

I already found the visibility setting under setup/fields/input but i don't get the right parameters for "Show this field only if ...".

I hoped it would be something like "$user!=admin" but this does not work.

There is this module by Ryan. Sounds like that’s what you want.

Using the visibility setting to hide a field is probably a bad idea, because that will only hide it client-side with JavaScript.

Thank you, that was exactly what i was looking for.
