Is there any way to have a field only visible to certain roles

Hi there,

I am trying to use the Form&List to show some affiliate promotions and I need to have a "Download Coupon" Field in the list view that is only visible to registered users.

I have created a download field and set it to be a restricted field, however it still shows in the listview (using xslt) to unauthenticated users.

Is it possible to do what I am trying or should I look into another solution?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks like I managed to make it work, not sure if it is the best way to go since I am not an xslt expert but here it goes:

Then just replace the strings for whatever roles should see the field and add ORs for any more roles you need.

Would be nice if that situation could be part of the documentation adn/or wiki.

Oh, I'm sorry, looks like my code was stripped off. Let's try that again:

<xsl:if test="contains(//udt:Context/udt:UserRoles, 'Registered Users') or contains(//udt:Context/udt:UserRoles, 'Administrators')">
<xsl:value-of select="udt:Coupon" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</xsl:if>
