Well, you didn't mention what environment you're in so I'll just make some convenient assumptions.

Yes, not only is this possible but is also a common requirement. You can do this quite easily by using FormAPI functionality. Specifically, IWDatacapture.getRole() and IWItem.setVisible() and perhaps IWItem.setRequired() will get you what you need.

FYI, when opening the DCR in view mode, users will be able to see all fields as FormAPI is not executed.

Sure, but certain users still do not have the capability of editing these fields, which is my impression of what this person is trying to accomplish.
