Is it possible to Hide a field based on Security role?

[pstockin]

I would like to hide a field, such as Status, based on a role set in Security Explorer. How should I go about implementing this, assuming it is possible? The code probably would go in the Load Actions for the form in question, but not sure on what objects in C# I need to pull in to check the logged in user's role.

I am not sure with the security roles can do this.

But have you checked out the possibilities of field level security?

This would also hide the fields in gtroups as it goes directly into the provider.

How would I go about that on the web client? With other web platforms, it's a cinch to grab the current user object and rifle through it to retrieve settings like role and then run it through some if/thens and such. Is there a reference article or demo somewhere that I can review?
