Admin Only Access?

I'd like to restrict access to certain fields in the editor and make them available to "Admin Only".
As luck would have it there is an option to do this in every field in the editor. The trouble is, it doesn't do what it says on the tin...
Admin Only fields can be changed by Editors too!
Is there any way I can make a field truly "Admin Only"?

Hi,
In CMS Builder doesn't support that by default. An editor will always have access to all of the fields in that section. If this is functionality that you really need, you can send an email to consulting@interactivetools.com and we can look into creating something custom for you.
Hope this helps.

Hi Perch,
Here's the change that you want. Dave helped me with this a while back.
When you upgrade, you'll have to make the changes again.
Hope that helps,

- Open /cmsAdmin/lib/menus/default/edit_functions.php
- Search for "!$CURRENT_USER['isAdmin'] && !$GLOBALS['hasEditorAccess']" and remove the code listed:
if (@$fieldHash['adminOnly'] && !$CURRENT_USER['isAdmin'] && !$GLOBALS['hasEditorAccess']) { continue; } // skip admin only fields
(remove && !$GLOBALS['hasEditorAccess'] from the line.)
- Open /cmsAdmin/lib/menus/default/save.php
- Search for "!$CURRENT_USER['isAdmin'] && !$GLOBALS['hasEditorAccess']" and remove the crossed out code (two lines):
if (@$fieldSchema['adminOnly'] && !$CURRENT_USER['isAdmin'] && !$GLOBALS['hasEditorAccess']) { continue; } // skip admin only fields
if (@$fieldSchema['adminOnly'] && !$CURRENT_USER['isAdmin'] && !$GLOBALS['hasEditorAccess']) { continue; } // skip admin only fields
(remove && !$GLOBALS['hasEditorAccess'] from both lines. )When you upgrade, you'll have to make the changes again.
Hope that helps,
