What is the best way to disable editing the fields in Studio?

Why would you want to do this? 

Users who shouldn't have Admin privileges have admin privileges. That's unfortunately not going to change, so IT gets to do work so dumb users don't do dumb things.

Hi John,

You can hide the field from the studio, so that field itself will not be visible in the studio and no user can see it. This can be done in the vardefs, you can set the studio parameter to false.

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and Regards,

When you're referencing Vardefs here, should I be creating a vardefs.php under modules>Studio or is there a vardefs file that already manages that? And where would I actually find the name of the parameter to disable?

Hi, it is a code customisations. As soon as you hit 'save' on a field in the admin there should be a vardefs file created in custom/Extenion/modules/<module>/Ext/Vardefs with a recognizable name. More information about the vardefs can be found here:

another, uglier, approach would be the following. (see the last paragraph for idea's)
