Hide custom fields by user's role

I've tried reading all the questions about this topic, and configured the code to fit my needs, but can't seem to get it to work. This is the code I have now:

function my_exclude_custom_fields( $protected, $meta_key, $user ) {

    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    if ( in_array( 'udlejer', (array) $user->roles ) ) {
        if ( in_array( $meta_key, array( 'email', 'text' ) ) ) {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return $protected;
}
add_filter( 'is_protected_meta', 'my_exclude_custom_fields', 10, 2 );

It doesn't make any change. Even though I'm logged in with another role than udlejer, I can still see these custom fields in front-end.

The custom fields are on a product page created by WooCommerce. Do I then need to include more to the code then? Hope you guys can help!

• Where is $currentUser coming from? Your codes formatting is broken, can you fix it? Code is easier to read/fix with good formatting :) – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Mar 27, 2018 at 18:12
• I think it's fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out :) I'm new at coding. But still not working. – Mark Nielsen Commented Mar 27, 2018 at 18:24

You can use the current_user_can() function to test the current user's role. I would also recommend making the custom field protected by default and allowing access only to the proper users.

In theory, something like this should work:

function my_exclude_custom_fields( $protected, $meta_key) {

    if ( in_array( $meta_key, array( 'email', 'text' ) ) ) {
        if ( current_user_can( 'udlejer' ) ) {
            // meta key is not protected for user role 'udlejer'
            return false;
        } else {
            // make the meta keys protected by default
            return true;
        }
    }

    return $protected;
}
add_filter( 'is_protected_meta', 'my_exclude_custom_fields', 10, 2 );
