I'm not sure if it is possible, but I think it would be very useful if it were possible to enable these permissions on all fields within a field_group (@see: http://drupal.org/project/field_group)

I too would like this option... it would make nodes with LOTS of fields easier to manage.

It would be exceedingly convenient to manage permissions on entire groups of fields at once (if nothing else, it would make admin/people/permissions *slightly* less imposing :)

The new UI makes the access control much easier. Not sure if we should add the permission check on the group itself though. The group will only appear if you have access to something within the group. I think having individual control over the fields is something we want.

Just tested with 1.x-dev and it work fine. The new UI will really help with managing this. I'm inclined to set this to fixed as it's much easier to maintain.

This works when the fields are contained within a fieldset (the fieldset does not show if the logged in user has no permisions to edit a field contained within that fieldset), but not when the fields are contained within a vertical tab (the tab still shows even when the logged in user has no editable fields). Obviously this is a minor issue, but, if the show/hide was expanded to the tab groups, that would be awesome!

I agree with adding fieldset permissions -- it would be nice, because the fieldset shows up regardless of the status of the fields within in. It makes it difficult to hide in the even that its contents are missing.

Hi,

I would find it useful for fieldsets to be hidden if all the content within is not visible to the role of the user viewing the node..

If you can't see anything in the fieldset, it should behave like an empty fieldset normally does.
Looks like someone's already asked for this: https://www.drupal.org/node/1417008

Looks like this was fixed at the Field Group level:
