Good morning kirby fans,

Is there any way to achieve that?

A field in a blueprint, disabled for editors, editable for admins?

[GitHub - rasteiner/k3-whenquery: Conditionally show fields and sections. Better.](https://github.com/rasteiner/k3-whenquery/) as in `whenQuery: _role = 'Admin'`

be advised that the plugin is JS based, mainly intended to control visible elements. it is NOT a permission system and checks like for `_role` can be circumvented by malicious panel users.

Another solution would be to use [PHP-based blueprints | Kirby CMS](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/development-deployment/programmable-blueprints)
