I've been using node form columns and I am loving it. I really makes some of the add/edit pages more appealing and usable for my users. In some cases I've hidden pieces like the list of groups a user can post to. What I have found now is that those hidden fields cannot be modified at all, even user 1. There are work arounds with rules, admin content list screen, etc. but it might be nice to allow certain roles to ignore the "hide" option and be able to modify these fields.

You might be looking for content permission, a submodule that comes with CCK.

Or something like field permissions could solve your problem. Functionality added to nodeformcols like that would make the module overall a pretty bulky module and would be outside the scope of the original purpose of the module.
