[Resolved] Restrict Certain Profile Fields to user AND certain role types.

Hey guys,

I would like to create a field group where the field information is only visible to that particular user, administrator and a custom role (managers).

As this will contain personal financial information, I don’t want any other site members seeing it. But it’s important that my selected user roles and individual user see it.

Any ideas?

Regards

Check out Roles and Capabilities. If your admin and custom roles share a common capability then you can distinguish these roles from the rest of the roles that don’t have that capability.

See
current_user_can() and user_can()

You would use them like this:
```
if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
    // The current user can manage options so do something special.
}
```
```
if ( user_can( $user_id, 'manage_options' ) ) {
    // The specified user can manage options so do something special.
}
```
