Can I use USER group to limit who can see the Author dropdown on the entries form? Is this even permitted the craft license. I really need to remove that field from view of two user groups. Also would be nice to be able to limit which fields a user has access to when creating an entry. </p>

  You can use the [Control Panel User Group](https://github.com/lindseydiloreto/craft-cpusergroup) plugin to automatically add special classes to the `<body>` tag in the CP.
  
  Once those classes are in place, it's easy to use [CSS](https://github.com/lindseydiloreto/craft-cpcss) or [JavaScript](https://github.com/lindseydiloreto/craft-cpjs) to hide fields from certain user groups (or trigger other behavior based on user group status).
