Hi,

I think it would be a good feature to be able to have fields only visible to Admin users. I know there is a setting for Admin only at the moment, but this allows field to be viewed and updated by Admin's AND editors. On some of the systems I've installed, it would be useful to have fields that aren't available to anyone except and Administrator (i.e. me), such as configuration options for the site that are stored in CMSB.

Could this be feasible in the future?

Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul,

You can edit the admin code to remove editor access to Admin only fields. It's a small code edit.

Here is a link to the forum post with details:

Remember that upgrading CMS Builder in the future will overwrite custom code changes in the admin so make note of your edit so you can make it again after upgrading in the future.

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
