OK, you have gotten answers to the "what keyword and what syntax" to make this work correctly.
My question to you is what are you really trying to do... Is it that anyone who has this particular group in their group list regardless of what other groups they are in, you want this to hide? So, if my group list is Administrator; 100000024 You do not want me to see the field? What are you trying to accomplish? Have you created this group ONLY to do an exclusion like this regardless of other rights/permissions I have? In general, I don't like workflow like this. If you don't want someone to have access to something, use permissions to control whether they have access. That is the only safe, secure, system enforced means to protect something. If it is hidden, they still can access it, just they cannot see it on the UI. So, if those fields in question had data in it, that means I can get that data using the API or Web Services or a Report or the like because I have access. You have just hidden the fields from me on the UI. You have still given me access. If I have no access, the fields don't exist to me so there is no hiding issue. I am also concerned about that first topic. If I am in 20 groups and I have access to these fields and all is well. I add one more group so I am now in 21 and you are removing access? So, getting MORE permissions is trying to give me less? That can quickly become confusing in the system. I am not saying to do or not to do this workflow. It is your choice of course. But, I do want to point out what the ramifications of what you are choosing to do are so you can decide whether or not it is really meeting your goals.
