Show/Edit Field Only for Specific Role

[IshitaRana]

Hi,

I have a custom field defined like this:

"tMCheckStatus": {
    "type": "enum",
    "options": [
        "Pending",
        "Done",
        "Not Applicable"
    ],
    "default": "Pending",
    "style": {
        "Pending": null,
        "Done": null,
        "Not Applicable": null
    },
    "maxLength": 100,
    "isCustom": true,
    "editable": true,
    "view": "custom:views/fields/inline-edit-enum"
} 

I want this field (tMCheckStatus) and many more to be inline editable based on the role of the logged in user.

Is there a way to configure this directly in the field’s metadata (e.g. using something like visible: inRole('tm') or readOnly), or do I need to handle this in a custom field view?

Hi,

I believe it's possible to use the field level security in Roles to achieve this.

In every Role used in the system disable read or/and edit for all fields in question (in the Field Level section). Then, in specific Roles, override needed fields by enabling access to them.

In the future, we plan to have the ability to designate one mandatory role that will be always applied for all users. It will be easier to disable certain fields for all users.
