If a user has permissions, can they see hidden fields in a data model?

The correct answer is that users can only see hidden fields in certain conditions. Hidden fields in a data model are designed to be used in the background and are not readily visible in search results or for general use. However, depending on the user’s role and permissions, there may be scenarios where these fields can be accessed, particularly when the model is being set up or edited.

For example, if a user has the necessary permissions, they might be able to access these hidden fields while working within the dataset editor or if specific searches are constructed that utilize those fields intentionally. This capability enables users to leverage the full potential of the data model without exposing or cluttering the user interface with every field that may not be relevant for general use cases. Thus, the visibility of hidden fields is conditional based on the user's access and the context in which they are working.
