Is there a way to display the "created by" column for administrators and certain security roles only?

I tried using "Display All Columns" permission but that does nothing for administrators and for the specified security roles.

We want to allow users to add a record that is anonymous to most other users, but their username should be visible to those with permission to see who created the record.

 

Of note I tried the "view" setting as well as the "edit" setting for the page.

 

(i.e. we have an apartment complex that has its residents anonymously report license plates of parking violators on the website, but we only want the property manager to be able to view who filed the report.  They can do this by clicking on each record individually, but it'd be easier to see who issued the report within the list display).

Are you asking for UDT or form and List? form and List has a new option "restricted field", which controls the visibility of fields on edit by a permission

Thanks Stefan,

I've tried making the "Created by" a restricted field to see if it will show it to administrators. 
I've tried every possible combination of permissions, "Negate permission/feature "Display All Columns" for Administators" and making the "Created by" field restricted and unrestricted, etc...

There doesn't seem to be a way to show the "Created by" field (within the list) to administrators only.  Do you have a step by step suggestion on how to do this?

Your observation is correct. The system fields remain hidden if the visibility is disabled, those fields act different than common fields. I added a new option in FnL5.1, which does exactly what you want. In the mean time, you need to "mirror" the created by field in a calculated column.
