# User Edit Capability

 * Greetings!
 *  I have just purchased the subscription and installed the latest version of Ultimate
   Member along with some the extensions I need. For one reason or another, users
   are able to edit any visible field on their profile. My admins and moderators
   should be able to edit the fields, users however should not be able to do so.
 * I have made sure to grant the users edit permissions for their profiles.
    I have
   made sure to uncheck the user can edit in the secured fields.
 * See screenshots below. Any help would be appreciated.

 * Hi [@redkingone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redkingone/)
 * Sorry for the late response. Do the visibility settings work for non-file uploader
   fields? Could you please confirm what version of UM you’re using? The latest 
   version is 2.3.0

 * I can confirm I am using version 2.3.0.
 * I can also confirm the visibility settings are working NOT correctly for non-
   file uploader fields. I have a basic text field that should be noneditable by
   members, same issue.
 * I’ve had to resort to making pre-populated fields displayed in view mode only
   to prevent people from changing those for now.

 * Hi [@redkingone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redkingone/)
 * Could you please provide screenshots of the uploader field and text field settings
   in the Profile Form Builder? You can upload the screenshots via imgur.com and
   then share the image URLs here so we can review them.

 * Hi [@redkingone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redkingone/)
 * Could you please try the latest version 2.3.1? We have fixed the issue with the
   File Uploaders field’s privacy settings. Let us know if you’re still encountering
   issues after the update.
