Hiding columns from a user group..

Good day,

Within my WSS v3 Intranet site I have created a Staff Listing for such
information as full name, address (we have 14 offices), phone number, etc.
I have also created a couple of columns within the list that I'd like to
hide or filter out somehow from non-administrative accounts. Basically the
Views are set up so that there is a listing of the user, phone, fax, and
office location. This keeps the view nice and clean. If the staff clicks
on one of the staff members listed, they get the complete details, which is
what I want as there is also a digital pic of all staff, as well as off
hours contact information, personal fax numbers, etc. But my problem is
that I'd like to have these couple of additional columns for each user, but
only want Administrative accounts to be able to see them.

Is there any way to hide, filter out, or deny view permissions to these two
columns?

TIA

- Joe

You can't set security at column level.

You also can't set it at View level.

Hence the inability to have this in any one copy of a List.

What you could do perhaps is to have the List include those fields but
where you only provide Views which don't include those fields.

Then you could - in a site restricted to Administrators - have a Data
View Web Part that gets its data from that List (in the other site) and
that DVWP would display those two additional fields.
