Show/hide admin columns by front-end input

Hi,

You can hide an admin column for a user role/ID when registering the custom fields with code. For example:

function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $admin_columns = true;

    global $current_user;
    $user_roles = $current_user->roles;
    $user_role = array_shift($user_roles);
    if( $user_role != 'administrator' ) $admin_columns = false;

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title'  => __( 'My Custom Fields', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'id'     => 'my-custom-fields',
        'fields' => [
            [
                'name'          => __( 'Text', 'your-text-domain' ),
                'id'            => 'text_9wwu55lol0q12',
                'type'          => 'text',
                'admin_columns' => $admin_columns
            ],
        ],
    ];

    return $meta_boxes;
}

This code will remove the admin columns of the text field if the logged in user is not an administrator.

Hi,

No, the admin column is registered even whether the field has value or not. You can remove the admin column for a field if the user logged in has a specific role as I mentioned above.
