Hi @codynew

Thank you for the question.

You can make use of the acf/settings filter to restrict the number of people who can edit the ACF fields.

The code will look as follows:

add_filter('acf/settings/show_admin', 'my_acf_show_admin');
function my_acf_show_admin($show) {
	// provide a list of usernames who can edit custom field definitions here
	$admins = array( 
		'user_name_1', 'user_name_2'
	);

	// get the current user
	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

	return (in_array($current_user->user_login, $admins));
}
