How to make it so users CAN'T edit certain fields on their account profile

Posted by lanchris on November 13, 2012 at 3:48pm

Does anyone know how to make it so that once a user is registered, they CAN'T edit certain fields on their user profile? I know how to make it so that certain fields are not visible to the public but was trying to make it so that the private fields don't have the ability to be edited, once the account is approved.

I have also tried the panels module. However, once I go to the "pages"and get to the "add content" - then "Form" and then use "General Form" - it didn't seem to separate the fields out far enough to do what I wanted.

Was hoping someone had an easier or better way.

Thanks!

Depending on what you're using for profiles, you should be able to use the field_permissions module (for profile2 fields or core user fields).
