Render component based on users access to a field

Matt - Just worked out this snippet for you.  The API call returns the fields of the SObject as an array.  You can loop through that list for the field you’re interested in and work with any of the attributes of the field.  

SObj = skuid.utils.getAPIDescribeSObject(‘Account’);

if(SObj !== null)
    { 
        var fields = SObj.fields;
        $.each(fields,function(e,field){
            if(field.name == ‘LastName’ && field.updateable == ‘true’){
                result = true ;
            }
        });
    }
return result;
