[Resolved] keep a user field from showing in user backend

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The user would like to hide some user fields in the user profile in the backend.

Solution:
By default in Toolset, you can only choose the user roles where the user fields can be used. And you are right, these settings have been moved from the right sidebar to the field group section. Check this screenshot http://prntscr.com/wub8lr

If you need further control, you will have to use the Toolset Access plugin and you can then customize the options for each role in Toolset->Access Control->Types Fields(tab). Check this screenshot http://prntscr.com/wubp85

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have defined several user fields and user field groups. Some of them are necessary for certain custom script procedures only, so they are not meant to be edited afterwards and thus must not show up in WP dashboard / 'edit user'
According to toolset documentation cited below, there should be a 'where to display' box on the 'edit user field group' screen.

I am missing this one, which is the issue at hand.
(compare appended screenshot to the image subtitled "User Fields in Types" on below mentioned documentation)

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

By default in Toolset, you can only choose the user roles where the user fields can be used. And you are right, these settings have been moved from the right sidebar to the field group section. Check this screenshot hidden link

If you need further control, you will have to use the Toolset Access plugin and you can then customize the options for each role in Toolset->Access Control->Types Fields(tab). Check this screenshot hidden link

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
