[SOLVED] Restrict view access on certain fields

[SOLVED] Restrict view access on certain fields was created by sirweb
Hi,
I want to restrict view access on certain CB fields using Access level or Group.
Example: a comment field, visible for some moderators, but invisible for the user.
I am thinking, in the same manner as you can restrict Edit access to Group using CB Privacy.

CB Privacy will always allow the profile owner and moderators access the field. Then it checks the viewing user for permission based off the privacy rule selected.

CB Conditional strictly conditions against the profile owner to ensure they meet the supplied criteria. It doesn't care if the user is a moderator.

So with that said it sounds like you want it to display the field if the viewing user has the specified usergroup or view access level or is a moderator. The only way to really do that is to use an IF substitution in a custom value condition using CB Conditional. Example as follows.

Field: Custom > Value
Value: [cb:if user="#me" viewaccesslevel includes "1"]ACCESS[/cb:if]
Operator: Equal To
Value: ACCESS

This would check if the viewing user has the view access level ID of 1 (in this example that's Public) and if they do it outputs ACCESS which is then checked against. I think this could be made easier if CB Conditional could support conditions against the viewing OR displayed user instead of always displayed so have added a feature ticket to look into this for its next feature release.

I need to solve a similar problem and found this thread. I installed CB Conditional and tested your example on a field, but it does not seem to be working.

I could not find any instructions on how you built the formula that you used in the Field Value and the Operator Value seems to want #_ or a "get" statement of some kind.

The help videos aren't very helpful for resolving issues like this.

Here's what I need to do:

I want those I designate a Publisher level access in Joomla to be able to edit fields in the profile in a tab called Roles. This is where all the filtering and sorting fields for my lists are maintained. The user does not have access to these because we don't want them to be able to control what list they appear on (board members, sponsors, etc.).

So if I only want Publisher level or above to be able to see and edit these fields on the front-end profile edit (editing other member's profiles), how do I set this up?

I used what you have below, except I set the viewaccesslevel includes "5" (the Publisher level) and I set the Operator to "Greater than or equal to" because I'm a Super and want to be able to make front-end edits as well.

I created a test user with Publisher access, but it's not displaying this field when I am logged in and editing the user on the front-end. I fiddled with various settings (visible, show on profile edit, and the locations options, but I can't seem to find a combination that is correct.

Any assistance you can provide on this will be helpful.

Thank you,
Ernie

To limit who can edit a field based off the viewing users view access level you can use CB Privacy. Once installed edit the field then under Integrations > CB Privacy set "Edit Display" to "Custom view access level" and if you want it based off usergroup set it to "Custom usergroup" then select your respective view access level or usergroup. Should be all you need to do. The CB Conditional trick is only needed if you want to limit the viewing user from seeing a field on profile view since CB Privacy always allows profile owner to view the field in profile view.

I´m afraid things don´t go my way right now.

I have problems getting the Edit access level to work as I want.
Basically, I need to use 3 different access levels;
User, Local moderator and Global moderator.

So far, I have set CB Privacy Edit Display to Custom usergroup, and Edit Access to an appropriate group, containing the Global moderators.
I haven´t found any other settings in the plugin or in the field, that should affect this?!

The problem is whatever group I set, everybody has edit access.
Can you see of my description if I have missed something obvious?
