In this article we will be seeing how to mask the created by and modified by in the SharePoint list edit and display forms as shown in the following



Using C#:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Xml;

namespace MaskUser
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://serverName:1111/"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
                {                 
                    SPList list=web.Lists["cl"];
                    list.ShowUser = false;            
                    list.Update();
                }
