Need to hide fields

I am trying to hide some fields. I have used a prefix and HidePrefix. I have also tagged the fields $hidden. Still it seems anybody can open a new chart, click "Show System Fields" and the fields are visible. Is there a way to lock out the system fields or completely hide the field names? I need the fields in the data model, but people are only allowed to see it in an aggregated format. I do not want them to be able to add the fields to the charts they may create.

Any help?

Thanks!

Hideprefix can apply only for fact table and dimensionality tables. So, you not hide as these are system keys..

Best Anil, When applicable please mark the correct/appropriate replies as "solution" (you can mark up to 3 "solutions". Please LIKE threads if the provided solution is helpful

The short answer is no.

Yeah, after many hours of attempts and Googling, I was coming to that conclusion. Perhaps I shall give them strategic new names that have nothing to do with what they are and hide them in plain sight.
