Advanced Custom Fields – Disable Users to Edit Custom Fields

If you are the only “Administrator” and the rest of the users is lower level roles it is possible to achieve this. ACF has the option to set a rule to only display it based on user role.

Under “Edit Field Group” (where you setup the fields) there is a tab called “Location” where this is set (see the attached screenshot).
