Field Permissions

Is it possible to add permissions on specific fields?

For example, lets say I have a template that has three custom fields on it and I only want one of the fields editable by a certain role? Is that possible?

Hi, you can use this filter: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-prepare_field/

set $field['disabled'] = 1; by checking user’s role, restrict user from editing the field.
(Note: user still can edit after removing disabled="disabled" in developer console)

better yet, return false.
