Is there a way to set form field rules for a certain users? It would be very convenient if I could do something like this:

array('status', 'safe', 'users' => '@'))

Or a variation based on the way it works for accessRules(). Possible?

I'm trying to add a couple of admin-only fields to an update form (so I don't have to make a whole extra form). I know I can set the scenario differently when it is an editor updating the form, but then the 'on' => 'update' rules do not cascade to the admin.

Also, if there could be multiple scenarios, this could allow for a workaround to this since I could just add the admin scenario.

Thanks!

$rules = array();
$rules[] = array('email','email');
if(Yii::app()->user->isAdmin)
    $rules[] = array('status','required');

return $rules;

you can also use scenario for this.

array(
    ...
    array('email', 'email'),
    array('status', 'required', 'on'=>'adminCreate'),
    ...
);

php:
foreach(array('cat', 'dog', 'cow') as $animal) echo $animal."\n";

python:
[(animal, print(animal)) for animal in ['cat', 'dog', 'cow']]

ruby:
['cat', 'dog', 'cow'].each {|animal| puts animal}

You say Tomato, I say Tomato.
