I'm working on a site in which I'd like anon users to be able to create nodes of a certain type, but I only want them to be able to see/edit some of the fields on that content type.

I can't go into details just yet, but the goal of the site is to crowd-source the collection of information and then have a few administrators who will approve and groom the data. That's why I want anon users to be able to create nodes and only access a few fields. Then admins will be able to supplement that data by adding values into the other fields and then publish that node.

How do I restrict access to fields basing on the roles the users have?

You want the Field Permissions module, it does exactly that:

The Field Permissions module allows site administrators to set field-level permissions to edit, view and create fields on any entity.

It gives you granular access control based on role for every field, e.g.:

  • Any way to control access to the Title? I know it's not a "Field", but I want to generate the Content Title based on other fields. This may be a larger question that I'll need to post separately. Perhaps I'll need to create a module that will intercept the content creation and override the title or something.

  • If you want to generate the node title automatically Automatic Nodetitles is probably the way to go, it has the effect of hiding the title field anyway so would probably suit your needs perfectly

  • Where are this features? On the field settings? I can't find it anywhere
