Hello everyone, I want to integrate numeric entry fields into a new view, but I want to make these numeric entry fields only editable when you Meet the desired security level.

Could you suggest me a way to achieve this?

Bind the `enabled` property to the appropriate `session.props.auth` property and check if it matches your requirements.

example:

This uses `roles`, but there's a `securityLevels` property as well.  
There might be a more performant way to do this with just an expression. I'll let you figure that out.

You can use [hasRole - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/hasRole).

Yep, that's probably a better way to do it.  
I was too lazy to check the expression functions' page to find the proper one 🤨
