sharepoint 2010 - Can you restrict the access on a custom field type? -

i want create custom field type (mycomplookup) used in lists users have access to. however, field type complicated / confusing regular user creating simple list in department's site. there way restrict users selecting custom field when creating columns lists?

i'm afraid can't set acl on field types.

a few things can achieve kind of workaround:

• add custom logic in spfield onadded method removes field after added regular user. method might confusing users, @ least should give descriptive name field. can find similar solution here, add fields list in method.

• you can add custom editor control (see simple sample here) field, interactsts other controls on add new field page, example disables ok button.

hope helps.
