Views: How to show titles of nodes but hide link based on role
I found it. I added a boolean field with Yes as the value for access, No for no access. This requires some careful management, as the value of this field has to equal the given access control. 
But in Views everything is very easy, using the extra boolean field. 
I added both Titles (Title1 being the one without a link, Title2 with link) and the boolean field. Both titles excluded from display, the boolean included. 
In its settings rewrite i input [Title2], and in the empty behaviour [Title1]. That's all.
