It is worthwhile checking the official vldpersonals documentation.

Although it is limited, it does provide some useful information like session and member variables that are available for use.

Member Variables

This tells us that {session.group_id} is the current group id.

You could then use that in a template something like :
<!-- IF {session.group_id} == 13 -->
show the field
<!-- ENDIF -->

You may have to try a few combinations to see if the number, 13, needs to be quoted ("13") or not, and to get it working.

It's good to have a plain template kept unmodified, like webby2, for simple testing such as this, rather than your production site.

If I understand, you are looking at this in the wrong way.

You can create custom groups in the CP and assign permissions to that group. For example, I created a group that gave members permission to upload and approve their own images while the other groups can not.

There are plenty of tutors on vldForum on this, but let me summarize.

1. In the CP I create a group called "edit" and assign permissions.

2. All member I want to give these permissions I move them to the edit group (you make this change in the CP).

Pretty simple.
