This seem to be the droids i was looking for 🙂

```plaintext
  add_to_serializer(:post, :user_xxx, false) {
    #object.user.custom_fields['xxx'] if object.user && scope.is_admin?
    #object.user.custom_fields['xxx'] if object.user && scope.is_moderator?

    # Staff will allow for Admins and Moderators
    object.user.custom_fields['xxx'] if object.user && scope.is_staff?
  }

```
