      I’ve setup some user fields, one of which is only editable by the admin:
      if($role != 'administrator') $args['attributes']['disabled'] = true;

      However when the user updates their profile, the value gets deleted. I’ve tried adding the value field but the same thing happens. Bug?

      @jcrist– Do you want the non-admin to see the field, but just have it disabled? Or should they not see it at all?

      Correct, user should be able to see the field but it is disabled.

      Not a big deal as I ended up hiding the field for non-admins but still seems strange that the value disappears.

      @jcrist– Browsers don’t submit data for disabled fields. Try readonly instead.

      Also, you can easily do this at the field level. Use this for your attributes:

      	 ,'attributes' => array(
	   'readonly' => piklist_user::current_user_role('administrator') ? '' : 'readonly'
	 )
