June 2025 monthly summary: Implemented a critical permission-based UI improvement in statamic/cms by refining visibility of Roles and Groups fields. Replaced the previous read_only approach with hidden visibility using ensureFieldHasConfig, ensuring only users with 'assign roles' or 'assign user groups' permissions can view or interact with these fields. This tightens access control, reduces inadvertent exposure, and aligns with the project’s permission model. The change was delivered as part of the 5.x branch and tied to commit 2344760e0604d7e2bea8113a3a69183be54184d9.
