hi there,
due to the abillity to prevent from indexing i tried to use the cvs version of cck_field_perms.
one problem i found, was that the module doesn't work with reference fields (at least not with the user reference field, neither autocomplete nor as a dropdown. any idea how to solve this?

greets

I believe this is still a bug.

I looked into this a while back, and I recall it had something to do with the fact that user reference (and presumably node reference) fields have an unnecessary value appended to them in the node_field.field_name value. Where other CCK fields are formatted like "field_[FIELDNAME]", user fields are of the format "field_[FIELDNAME]_user".

Since CCK and it's companion modules are a constantly moving target, it is very difficult to maintain a module like CCK Field Permissions.
