How do i block/hide fields for certain roles?

I cannot find the acces tab:

Go to the field settings and switch to the meta tab. the you can find a condition settings field:

Thanks for your reply, but the field still shows up in the api response. I’ve created a new role with an API key.

Apparently I’m doing something wrong.

I see, yes the mentioned method is just to hide the field in the admin ui. Real role based field permissions are not available yet
