Is there a way to prevent a user from modifying a custom member field?

Scenario:

Have users assigned to groups that control what entries they have access to. We’re doing this using a conditional that checks what group_id they belong to. This is working great.

Client now wants to offer additional content based upon a program their customers buy. We accomplished this by adding a custom member field that we can perform an additional conditional evaluation against.

However, it seems that the users can change this custom field when they edit their member profile. We do not want them able to do this.

Suggestions?

Hello Jason,

I was able to to do this.

Here is what I did.

In the custom user field I set “Is this field visible in public profiles?” to no.

Then I assigned the user to a custom group. This is one based on SuperAdmin, but it’s just not super admin.

When I go to edit my profile as that person, I do not see the custom member field.

Does that makes sense?

Cheers,
