On a list item edit form, is there a way to disable or hide a column depending on the user's permissions?

Hi Thomas A Wolfe,

Based on your description, you want to hide columns depending on the user's permissions.

We couldnt do this by SharePoint because SharePoint has no built-in feature for this. The least level that we can apply permissions is item level. If you hide a column in a view, it will be applicable to all the users. You could only do it by third party solution.

Please refer to the case for more details

There are two solutions from CodePlex, please take a look at:

OK, thank you.  Is there any way to set permissions on a item, depending on one of the columns values (i.e. a status column)

Hi Thomas A Wolfe,

There are two ways to set permissions on a item depending on columns values.

1. You could do it with a workflow, please refer to the link below:http://spcycle.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-create-workflow-to-change-item.html 
2. You could create views to filter the items depending on the columns values. Then try the solution I have given you above. It can grant permissions to views.

Hope it will be helpful to you.

Hi Thomas,
You can disable the column using below script,firstly you have to find the user group than disable the columns.

  <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {

            debugger;
            $().SPServices({
                operation: "GetGroupCollectionFromUser",
                userLoginName: $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser(),
                async: false,
                completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
                    $(xData.responseXML).find("Group").each(function () {
                        //alert($(this).attr('Name'));

  var responseDueDate= document.getElementById('ctl00_ctl32_g_65d37a62_a18e_4ad2_809b_39426ec1522e_ff61_ctl00_ctl00_DateTimeField_DateTimeFieldDate');

  var status= document.getElementById('ctl00_ctl32_g_65d37a62_a18e_4ad2_809b_39426ec1522e_ff41_ctl00_DropDownChoice');
