Here are some examples of why you need access control for user fields:
A membership site A listing site
With Access integration, you can assign privileges to all users of a certain type or to specific users.
Set Access control for field groups
First, you need to create some Types field groups. With Access, you can control both post custom fields (post meta) and user custom fields (user meta). Once you have fields groups and Access plugin installed, go to Toolset → Access Control and open the Types Fields tab. You will see a list of everything under Access control, combining post fields and user fields groups
Types fields tab
Click on the field group for which you want to set access control. Note that post fields and user fields have different sets of permissions.
You can set selective access by checking the different options. You can grant specific privileges to specific users by clicking on the user icon. Please remember that WordPress allows only administrators to access the profiles of other users. Administrators are allowed to do anything in the site, so Access does not include an option to allow users to access other users’ fields. Access settings are for entire groups of fields. If you want to assign different access privileges to different fields, create separate groups for them and set the privileges to these groups.
Edit and Read-Only Field Modes
When you grant view privileges but not modify privilege, fields will display as read-only. In that case, the field group displays all fields as read-only inputs.
