Is get_field_object() dependent on a capability?

I’m using get_field_object() to display custom field data in custom columns on the admin list screens (e.g. /wp-admin/edit.php).

As an admin user, the following code displays the fields perfectly. However, as a custom user role, get_field_object() returns false. I can’t work out what is causing it and given that the code works for some users and not others I can only assume that get_field_object() requires a particular capability to be true?

add_action( 'manage_properties_posts_custom_column', 'my_manage_properties_columns', 10, 2 );

function my_manage_properties_columns( $column, $post_id ) {
	global $post;

	switch( $column ) {

		case 'type' :
			
			$field = get_field_object('property_type', $post_id);
			$value = get_field('property_type', $post_id);
			$meta = $field['choices'][ $value ];
			
			if($meta)
			
				echo __($meta);
			
			else
			
				echo __( 'Unknown' );
				
			break;
}
}
