I use SSO and would like to make all profile fields uneditable (eg: location), and only sync them on login. Is that possible?

I had the same problem in a community with SSO, and hiding the fields on the edit profile page with CSS was enough there.

Thanks for the pointer, that worked well! Any idea on how to make that role based? I want some users to not be able to see the fields and others not to. I noticed that the body has a “staff” class when I’m logged in with an admin or moderator, however I’d like to just hide these for certain users that are neither “admins” nor “moderators”, but actually belong to a custom group. Any idea?

We’ve recently added the groups of the current user as classes to the `` element.
