You would need to create two ACLs to restrict read access to these two fields.

Hey,

There are two ways you can do this

Approach #1:

• You can just go down to the related list on the form, Right click > Configure > List layout and in the slushbucket you can have relevant fields on the right
• Moving on to roles part, you need to have a client script to basically hide the rows altogether:

if(g_user.hasRole('role_name')){
   g_form.showRelatedList('related_list_table_name');
}
else{
   g_form.hideRelatedList('related_list_table_name');
}

Approach #2

If you want to check that related list should show all columns to admins/privileged roles and restrict to two column when users belongs to that group.

• You will need to create a new relationship with that table and with same filter as on the existing one with relevant columns
• Again you will have to use above code, to show and hide your relevant related list based on roles

Hi Aman

Thanks for the Response

Actually i have one related list like "Delegates", in that related list , currently for all users they can see three columns , so my concern was if the person belongs to (Adminstrators, Assistants) these two groups , for then i need to display one more column like "user" in that related list to that two group's people?

Thanks

I don't think you will be able to hide/show a column based on some condition in a related list.

What you can try is to create a read ACL for user field and set answer=false in the ACL advanced script if the user belongs to that group.

But again you are gonna have to try how well it works out.
