Restrict backend fields

[zora]

Hi there
I’d like to restrict certain backend fields for my authors. For instance, I’d like to hide the venues section and disable the Google maps checkboxes by default. How would I do that? I thought about removing the section via CSS but this would still leave the Google options activated. Unfortunately, I can not restrict fields via access rights (as in other CMS …)
Thanks for hints.
Zora.

Hi Zora,

Thanks for reaching out!

There is not currently an out of the box way to restrict certain fields on the backend, but you could do it with a customization. If you’d like to give it a shot, our themer’s guide is the place to start! We also have a list of recommended developers that you could contact if you would like to have the code done for you. Alternatively, you may also be able to find a third-party plugin that will let you disable certain fields based on roles. I did a quick search and found this one (but have not tested this out).

I’m sorry I don’t have a better answer for you, but I hope this helps get you started! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Jennifer
