I need to tell the user that he/she can use the field in a form only if he/she is a pro user. I thought about something like this:

enter image description here

But I'm not very sure if replacing the BROWSE button with PRO is good idea.

Any suggestions?

    Pro will be missed because: 1) it looks like a regular button at first glance 2) why the heck does this say pro? CLICK 3) why is it disabled if I can't enable it in this current UI confused 4) there isn't more information to help me understand what pro is other than it is a button and I have no inclination how it helps me

  • Also how many pro features are on this page? Just that logo?

  • Shouldn't that be something you set in a role? Or is it registerless form?

You can put a padlock above the image where the logo would look. And when the user clicks, it will open the modal with the pro options.

EDIT: Changed Unlock to You need to be a pro-member...

    I like this, but why are you saying unlock? Someone actually has to click that to figure out what that is. Why not instead say "You need to be a pro-member in order to use this feature. Become a pro member now."

I would not replace 'browse' with 'pro' since pro is not the right label for indicating the action for when the user clicks the button.

Basic and advanced settings

Perhaps you could have a label above the pro settings called 'advanced settings'.

I came across a similar situation yesterday that might help you. See the question here.

The idea is that you only show the basic settings and let the user show/hide advanced settings. Show them that the advanced settings are, well... advanced, so that they are warned.
