field type for attachment

[Brian Lancaster]

I have a new requirement where they want to be able to put an attachment in a filed so it can be made visible only to certain users.   Is there a filed type that this can be done with?

Check below link, it talks about adding attachments using a link on the form, when you click the link attachment pop-up will open.

That just seems to be a filed to add an attachment but not to be able to open the attachments as well.

There is no OOB field type for attachments, however you can hide the attachment header for certain users with an onLoad client script (example). Of course, that hides all of the attachments rather than just a select few. You can also use g_form.disableAttachments() to disallow certain users from adding attachments.

I have decided to go with a URL field where they can have these files in a separate system that only they have access to.
