      Hello,

      I m assuming your controller property to get the options looks something like one of the following

      If you are taking the values directly from a specific picklist field

      public List<SelectOption> getMyOptions() {

      List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
      Schema.DescribeFieldResult field = yuopurObject.YourField.getDescribe();

      for (Schema.PicklistEntry f : field.getPicklistValues()){
      options.add(new SelectOption(f.getLabel(), f.getLabel()));
      }
      return options;
      }
      Or if you are manually adding the options, then something like this

      public List<SelectOption> getMyOptions() {

      List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
      options.add(new SelectOption('Option1','Option1'));
      options.add(new SelectOption('Option2','Option2'));
      options.add(new SelectOption('Option3','Option3'));
      return options;
      }
      If you want to adjust the options according to profile then you could simply do something like this

      public List<SelectOption> getMyOptions() {

      List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();

      //Might want to look into storing in a custom setting to avoid SOQL call
      Profile p = [Select Id, Name From Profile Where Name = 'Your Profile Name'];
      if(System.Userinfo.getProfileId() = p.Id){
      //add your values here
      }else{
      //add alternate values here
      }

      return options;
      }
