The site I am developing has 2 typestype of profiles: what we call "human" accounts and "alternative users." This is because we needed to create a way for human accounts to create multiple alternative users. The humanthe main account is solely for a user to lo-gin. It is still under development so I cannot give precise description, and names of these alternative users: think of a human (regular user) wanting to createthe alternative usersaccount associated with it. Let's say "action figures" where eachThe alternative user gets to have blog posts, forum posts, etc., under its own name. "He-man" and "Frodo" could be two examples.

Pretty cool and it is all done and working. Now...

When a human user goes to the account they seeThe main accounts have signature, and image fields whichthat never appliesapply to them because the system always defaults to anthe alternative useraccount for these things when posting. 

Since alternative usersaccounts, and human usersthe main accounts both have different roles/permissions:, how can I hide these fields using permissions?
