Best practice to hide an attribute on a page for a particular user

0

What is the best way to hide an attribute from being shown on a page because the app user does not have the permissions to view this attribute, but can view this particular page? I am thinking if it is from project security where a particular attribute can be given specific read/write access.

Beware that if you don't assign read rights to an attribute but you do place it on a page where the user has access to, the app will hang/freeze when trying to open the page with a progress bar. You should also set the visibillity contraints on the widget based on user role to prevent this.

You are spot on. Security is definitely the best option here. If someone doesn’t have access from a security perspective, they cannot see it on the UI or if they use their id to get it through an API. If you hide it through some attribute on the screen, they may still be able to access the data.
