Hello,

You can set your field as admin only and only visible for specific role by calling “user_meta_field_display” filter action.

Here is a quick example:


add_filter( 'user_meta_field_display', 'user_meta_field_display_function', 10, 3 );
function user_meta_field_display_function($html, $fieldID, $formName){
global $userMeta, $user_ID;

if( $fieldID != 'Field Id that you want to control' )
return $html;

$role = $userMeta->getUserRole( $user_ID );
if( !in_array( $role, array( 'administrator', 'contributor' ) ) )
return null;

return $html;
}


Thanks.
