I would like to make some fields not visible or read only to one user but editable to another so field level permissions.

I have accomplished this with a small chunk of code that I found and some special permissions. Regardless, I would prefer for this to be built into Knack. Also, high on my wish list.

I definitely need this for an "Edit" page. I want everybody to be able to see the same table, but want my Edit link only to allow people with certain privileges to access this.   
  
Pretty high on our wish list.

I know that this can seriously complicate things - especially in the UI, but there are situations where it would omit the need to have a replicate view with different login privs just to show something a touch differently.
