How can I reference Fields group and hide it only for users that have certain role?

Something like this...

function admin_only_metabox() {
    global $current_user;
    if($current_user->roles[0] == 'custom_role') {
        //HIDE SPECIFIC CUSTOM FIELDS GROUP
    }
}
add_action('admin_init','admin_only_metabox');

This answer solved user's issue.

Hi roniM,

Please try use Types action hooks "wpcf_admin_post_init", it locate in typesp lugin folder\embedded\includes\fields-post.php, line 110, like this:

add_action('wpcf_admin_post_init', 'admin_only_metabox', 10, 4);

function admin_only_metabox() {
global $current_user;
if($current_user->roles[0] == 'custom_role') {
//HIDE SPECIFIC CUSTOM FIELDS GROUP
...
remove_meta_box($id, $page, $context);
...
}

Regards
Luo
