Security on visual level/ partial row-level security

Hello!

I have a report showing different information in the roughly said following columns:

Date - Title - Value - Notes - Confidentiality

The last column says whether an entry is confidential or not, by saying either true or false (formatted as text).

 

Now what I would want to do is to restrict access in the following way:

- Role 1: see everything (easy)

- Role 2: see all dates and titles, but don't see value and notes for confidential entries. But for non-confidential entries, still see them.

The last part gives me some trouble - if I use RLS, I can just say to show nothing concerning e.g. confidential entries, or I could even not show any notes. But this is not what I need.... 

 

An alternative would be to show the value and notes via a different visual (e.g. a simple card). But I have not found the option to hide certain visuals for some users.

 

Happy to receive your ideas!
