You can either apply a Field level Read ACL or an onLoad Client script.

With ACL, you can permanently restrict Read access and that field won't be readable even in List View. With Client script, you can restrict the field on form view, however it will be visible in list view and in reports to that user.

For any of the above approaches, you need to use: g_user.hasRole("itil"); for restricting read role.

In ACL:

if(g_user.hasRole("itil"))

return false;

In client script

if(g_user.hasRole("itil"))

{

g_form.setVisible('u_onq_id',false);

}

just tried the ACL

in client script we have to do that using onchange or unsubmit or on load

Hi Carlos,

I am not sure you want to try in that way and if it helps.

Please create ACL for your customised field (right click on the field and go to Configure dictionary), then create a new Read/Write (ACL) as per your requirement. You need to have security_admin elevated privilege to create the ACL.

When it navigates to Access Control page, please assign the ITIL role in that.

I have just given an example on incident table, you can try on sys_user table similarly.
