    There is no really efficient way to do that out of the box. The best way would be to have to version of the page. One showing the field and one not showing the field. Then you can control the user access to the page through the standard permission setup in BC.

    You didn't get me correct..Let me explain it to you i need to create a field in vendor card which will be use extended property masked by default...if the user has permission to see that field then he/she will be able to see the value on opening the page and if the user donnot have the permission than the masked will remain as it is.

    Thanks

    Then you must set the extended datatype to None either on the table or on the page depending on what field you are talking about.

    Here you can see an example of how the customer table is extended.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-table-ext-object

    Same pattern will work for the vendor table.

    You will have to do that in code by extending the table / page that masks the data.

    Depends a little on what exact field it is.
