Default Permissions on custom fields

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious ...

I'd love to apply permissions to custom fields. I'm using GARS to improve a product support forum, where I want to collect things like version info and test case URL's on support requests.

Some of the information I'd like to collect needs to be visible only to the thread starter and 'staff'.

Any ideas?

The simplest way I see is to hack on mods/display/custom_fields.php a little, and just globally hide or show the entire custom fields table accordingly. Not quite ideal (doesn't give me fine grain control on individual fields), but would work.

But I'd love to see custom fields extended on a per-field basis, to allow 'private' fields. I'd see this working as a global setting for 'staff usergroup ids', and a 'private' checkbox on the custom field definition. Only the thread starter and whatever groups are specified as 'staff' would see 'private' fields.

Untested but another idea would be to go to the ACP -> GARS -> Modules -> click the module set with custom fields -> click the Custom Fields link -> set a special template in the 'custom field template' box and use template conditionals in that special template so values are only displayed to certain usergroups, perhaps with the following:
Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 6, 7)">

</if>

Yeah, that'd probably be the better way to go.

Thanks,
