    Hide certain property editors from certain users

    I have a table with several "brands" outside the umbraco tables. I want a way to link pages to specific brands. Currently I have a text field in the document type I am entering the corresponding brand ID. then in my surface controller I do this

    var BrandsPage = Umbraco.TypedContent(1208);
var umbBrands = BrandsPage.Children;

var umbBrandPage = umbBrands.FirstOrDefault(x => x.brandID == brand.BrandID);
 brand.Link = umbBrandPage.Url

    This is working fine, I would like a more elegant solution, but that is not really what I am looking for here. What I would like to do is hide that BrandID field when content users (besides admins) are editing content. I haven't found a way to do this with Umbraco "Out of the box", if there is that would be awesome, but if not is anything I can do to extend Umbraco to allow functionality like this.

    Hi Charlie,

    May you can use the EditorModelEventManager.SendingContentModel event to remove the property when the user is not a admin.

    In this event you can tweak the display model that is sent to the browser.

    More info here ; https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Events/EditorModel-Events

    Cool,

    Can you some code how you did it ? Haven't used the event myself.

    Hi, following up on that topic. we´re using Umbraco 9, so I guess we need to use SendingContentNotification https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Notifications/EditorModel-Notifications/

    So when an article is called

    • check the doctype
    • check the user type for admin
    • hide/remove the property

    Is there a simpler way, some plugin that does that?

    Best, Gerhard

    Hope this helps,
